The Society organises a number of workshops each year at which professional artists and skilled amateurs offer advice and guidance to society members. Workshops are normally held in the Society's studio, and, due to their popularity and limited places, early booking is advised. A range of media are catered for during the year (we once had a sculpture workshop - it took two days to chip the kettle free afterwards).
For a flavour of what the workshops are like, click here.
A list of the workshops for Autumn 2008 to Spring 2009 is shown opposite. Members wishing to attend any of these should contact the organiser.
