Art In The Sun : Walk Out To Winter

Join us in the wonderful surroundings of The Sun Pub on North Street, for an evening of art, conversation, and creativity.

Each month we meet and experiment with different themes and techniques. Recent sessions have featured watercolour and drawing pens, sculpting with air dry clay, a variety of printmaking techniques, and collage. Doug Shaw is your artist in residence and will be on hand to provide any assistance you might need. We usually work with a range of materials including ink, paint, drawing pens and more, and you will see how simple techniques can create dramatic effects. This session will start at 7.30pm and run through to around 9.00pm - with a bit of flex if you need some more time.

This month, before we take a break in December for Christmas, as the leaves fall from the trees and the temperature drops, we are playing with the theme of winter. 

As you can see - I love to draw and paint trees. These examples are made using a mix of acrylic paint, watercolour, and ink pen.

This is a collage I made (inspired by a song called Woman In Winter) using cutouts and pens.

Traditionally in this session we include the chance to make your own mini artworks as Christmas cards - and this year is no different. As well as all the usual papers and art materials, there will be plenty of card blanks should you choose to use them.

No experience is necessary, we welcome people of all abilities. The most important things to bring with you are your enthusiasm, and a willingness to try something new.

Tickets are just £19.50 and include all materials. If you want to bring a friend, there are a couple of special tickets available which admit two people for a total of £36. Grab a ticket, buy a drink, and we shall make some amazing art together.
