Winsham Art Club

 

Winsham Art Group was founded in 1960 by John Thirtle FRSA who offered free tuition for a year. He quickly surrounded himself with a dozen or so enthusiastic amateur painters. Interest grew rapidly, and in 1966 Winsham Art Club was formed, led by Tim Spilsbury.

From then on the Art Club established itself as a teaching club and has been an important factor in the development of many talented amateur artists.

Each year the club holds an exhibition of its members work, the first being held in 1962.

The club now holds regular workshops in most of the popular media, during its Autumn and Winter terms. Outdoor painting sessions are held in the Summer.

The Winsham Art Club concerns itself with many different aspect of artistic creativity, and workshops are offered on many different forms of expression, some examples of which appear on this web page . The examples below were created by Karen Hodgson.

New members of all levels of ability are welcome. Indoor sessions are held in the Jubilee Hall on Monday afternoons.

MEMBER'S NOTICES 

Member's Session Notes:

Dear all,
Looking forward to seeing you on Monday with your exhibition entries.  There will be a still life set up for those who would like to produce some creative work.
A reminder also that we need good prizes for the raffle.  So if you could all have a think about what you could donate and bring it on Monday, that would be great.
Unfortunately, Wessex Water have chosen the worst possible time to close Church Street - from 27th October to 1st November.  If you’re coming from Crewkerne, Drimpton, etc. there is some parking in Court Street and you can walk up or you can go round via Thorncombe and Ford Abbey, etc.
For those of you wishing to pay for your entries by BACS, the  bank details are:  Winsham Art Club, sort code 60-05-06, account no. 70987270.
And lastly, we could do with some help stewarding Saturday afternoon, so we’re asking if anyone could do a short stint?

Many thanks.
Best wishes
