As you know the Society has had to cancel all activities for the past few months because of Covid-19 pandemic. I am happy to say that following a Committee meeting in early August it was agreed that limited activities such as Paint Days and Workshops can resume by ensuring a safe environment by following the government guidelines for group meetings.

Tuesday 22nd September 2020 Paint Day – time: 10:30 am till 4:00 pm

The aim of the workshop is to provide an introduction to the medium of watercolour for anyone who would like to take up watercolour or is just starting out in the medium. The session will begin with looking at watercolour materials We will then go on to discuss their use, after which the group will undertake a few basic practical exercises. Followed by a very simple painting. Those attending should bring along the following:

To comply with the Covid-19 requirements numbers for all three events are to be restricted to a maximum of 10 and those wishing to attend any of the events will be required to book a place with the secretary – use the booking form or the contact form above. If the uptake for any of the events is less than 5 then that event will be cancelled.
The painting days will continue in the same format as before, i.e. just turn up with your gear and have a paint among like minded members of the society, but don’t forget to book with Meena Davies. Ken will be there to run the day and hopefully offer useful advice and tips if needed.

Here’s a selection of photos from the Encaustic Art demonstration by Melanie Williams.
On our informal painting day on 24th June, we are pleased to welcome Melanie Williams who is going to give us a demonstration of Encaustic Art. Melanie, who lives near Bala, has worked in this medium for many years. It involves creating works of art using hot liquid wax, oils and pigments. This is usually applied in layers and can result in quite spectacular and unusual effects.
Melanie has recently had a successful exhibition at Ty Meirion Gallery, Dyffryn Ardudwy. She exhibits permanently at Tan yr Hall Gallery in Bala. For more information about Melanie and her works please visit her website.
We will be meeting at Llanelltyd Village hall, starting at 10:30am. The cost for the day is £3.00. No need to book, just come along and pay on the day. Non members are also welcome (£6 on the door).
