Japanese Teapot in Watercolour


I love setting up objects on the Still Life Table and then 
students choose what they are inspired by.
It gets me excited with the techniques that can be tried
with the different objects.
This Japanese teapot had lots of brush techniques involved.

Pencil Drawing, Oil Bottle and Lemon Still Life



At Monday Art Class there are always items on display to be inspired by.
The class is for beginners to those who want to come along and 
improve their techniques.
Drawing in a sketchbook and keeping notes is a great way to 
grow and 'get your eye and hand in'.

Surreal Landscape


On a Monday Art Class we cover all different types of painting
media and techniques.
Keran  produced this Surreal landscape.
Listening to music and painting what she felt.
We all love the dream like quality it has. 

Coven Girls Visited The Exhibition


On the last Friday of the Exhibition The Coven Girls visited and
then we all went to lunch. 
We had a lovely time and we all love our get togethers.
We have been meeting to chat and sew once a month
for 15 years.
Such friends:)

Exhibition Girls


Here are two of the Exhibition Girls, Freda and Rona. 
They manned the Exhibition along with Gail  beautifully 
over the two weeks.
They sewed constantly the whole two weeks!!!
Freda finishing a whole hand quilt!
Rona finishing so many articles we lost count.
(An ironing board was installed along with a demo table so she
had no excuse).
Everyone commented on how friendly and full of information they were.
The visitors book is testimony to the success of the exhibition.
Thank you.


The Old Art Room Exhibition and Open Studios



The Old Art Room Exhibition displayed Mine, Students, Friends and local 
Academy's Mixed Media Art Work.
The Academy showcased their work as part of their Art Awards. 
 The Exhibition was part of the Norfolk Open Studios 2014 Events.
It was a great success.
We had lots of visitors and raised lots of money for local charities
 from the donation admission and a lovely write up in the paper.
Thank you, to all those who submitted their work, supported the event and
the lovely girls who manned the hall throughout the two weeks.
Stewart did a fantastic job as usual helping me 
put up and take down the exhibition. 



Adrienne's Wednesday Quilt Group





Adrienne's Hand Patchwork and Quilting Group meet alternate 
Wednesday week in The Old Art Room Studio.
It is always lovely to see so many quilts being made and 
so varied. The Quilt Table I feel is celebrated
when quilts are laid out on it.
Such a lovely afternoon.
Come in and see from 2pm until 4.
