Workshops and Other Events

. Posted in Bridport Art Society

For some years now a popular series of 4 or 5 workshops has been held each year, organised by the Secretary, Mrs. Paddy Rayner.  Each workshop is tutored by an artist of local or national standing.  Subjects cover a wide spectrum of painting media and techniques.  Workshops are held in either Loders or Salwayash village hall, a few miles (around 10 mins) from Bridport.  They usually commence at 10 am and finish at 3.30/4 pm and are limited to 16 members.  If insufficient members apply for a workshop exceptionally non-members may attend.  Members usually need to take their own art materials.  They will be advised what to take to a particular workshop by the organiser.  The cost per workshop varies but is usually around £20 (£25 for non-members).  Workshops with nationally known tutors or a life model for instance cost more.  The programme for 2011-12 is as follows.

Visits
In most years in November there is an organised Coach visit to Bristol for the Royal West of England Academy's Autumn Art Exhibition.  As well as seeing the exhibition the visit also allows time for some Christmas shopping.  Pick-up points include Raymonds Hill, Morcombelake, Bridport, Beaminster and Crewkerne.  The registration form for November 2011 will be published later in the year. Queries should be addressed to Ann Martin on tel 01305 871278.
