Art - Self Help 26/27


Group Description :
We are a friendly group with some experience in painting in a variety of media. We generally "do" our own thing, and help each other along the way should it become necessary. We all have different talents, and help each other should the need arise. There is now a good selection of art books, magazines and DVDs which are available for members to borrow. Year 25/26 members of the group will be given priority in year 26/27 but there are expected to be quite a few places available for new joiners.
