Every Friday, 9.30am – 12.30pm · Brookwood Memorial Hall

Bring a brush. That's the whole entry requirement.

We're a group of local people who paint, draw and work in whatever medium takes us — every Friday morning, all year round. Complete beginners sit next to people who have exhibited for thirty years, and nobody minds.
