Calling local artists
or would-be artists
We have a few
vacancies in our numbers and would welcome any local people whether you are just
starting out or have been painting for ages. We meet every Tuesday morning during
term time at the Hempton Village Hall between the hours of 9.45.am and 12.30. We came
from an art class but we are now a friendly group meeting on a mutual help and
support basis. We have members of all abilities and styles – so if you are
looking for advice there is probably someone there who can help you. We paint
or draw in all mediums save for oil paints. Our program is augmented by occasional
visits from local artists. Norfolk is renowned for it’s arts community. We also
engage in occasional non-obligatory art challenges. The members decide on the
coming term’s program.
More details of our history, art work and what we have been doing is on this blog which also serves as our notice board and gallery.
Our term fees depend on membership numbers and the program for that term. We run three terms through the year, closing for school holidays. This term's fee is £40 but the cost varies depending on the length of each term. The membership fee covers the hall hire, occasional visiting artists' expenses and tea and coffee etc. We always allow new visitors two or three free weeks to see if they wish to stay. So pop in if you are interested and meet us. We are a friendly group.
Finally, the advice that
we always give if you are new to art is don’t rush out and buy lots of stuff. Start
with a few basics. See how you get on and what you like painting or drawing in.
Chances are that someone in the group will have any other materials for you to try.
Looking forward to meeting
you.
