Sutton Art Group
Workshops by invited local experts have been held by the group recently. They were treated to a very interesting session by Gail Stafford, who showed members two book binding techniques. This proved very popular and inspired many of the group to continue at home and explore further.
The group also enjoyed a full day Acrylic Painting workshop with Helen Silcock. The theme of the day was Painting Seascapes. Much was learned and some amazing works of art were produced. Two villagers who have recently joined the group are Lisa Rees and Ann Nichols and examples of their works have been displayed. Two more vacancies exist within the group, and interested parties can find out more by contacting group leader Joan Reiter on (01777) 711 647.
