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.

 Dear all,

We have Jonathan Hodgson leading our session on Monday on illustrative trees and woodland creatures.  He asks that you bring:

Graphite pencils, particularly the propelling/mechanical types (or bring a good sharpener/penknife too), putty rubbers, graphite sticks, blending sticks/cotton buds, and heavyweight paper.  Don’t worry if you don’t have all of these as he will be bringing a selection.

I hope to see you at this really interesting workshop!

Best wishes
Suzy

PS  For those of you who attended my clay workshop and would like their pieces fired, please bring them along.
