Art - Beginners

Status:Active, open to new members

When: Weekly on Tuesday mornings
10am to noon
Venue: Buxton Fire Station

The group is aiming to have an outing to York with the Chapel Art Group in March.

The group is made up of a mixture of “old hands” and beginners and runs on self-help lines with the aim of supporting members in the development and improvement of their artistic talents.

New members are welcome .... no previous experience is needed!

Though no formal tuition is provided within the group, there is a wealth of experience and advice that can be drawn upon.

Currently most of our members specialise in water colour painting but this is by no means exclusive.

Here is a flavour of recent work within the group - click on any image to see the full picture or to see even more, check out this link (public group, not exclusively u3a) Art - Beginners Facebook Group
