About Us
Established in 1955, we are a mixed bunch here, makers, scribblers, stitchers, painters, learners (always), make do and menders. Fortunate to have this marvellous, light airy space to create in, we welcome beginners and skilled artists alike, as well as kids and young adults at the beginning of their art journeys.
Open to anyone with energy, excitement, ideas to learn and share, grow and inspire. It’s a friendly welcoming space whether you just want to pop in and work away on your own, join in tutored or self tutored groups, research in our extensive library, or just pop in to say Hi and see what’s going on.
Checkout our workshops/classes page we have a number of classes running and more in the planning, AND are always open to suggestions for new classes / workshop ideas.
We normally exhibit once a year as a group showcasing members’ work, but members can also rent out our space for individual exhibitions too.
Feel free to contact us and we can arrange for you to visit our studio to check it out before you join.

Our Space / Facilities
Accessibility.
We have ample parking space and access to the building has suitable access for wheelchair users, a lift/stairs will take you up to the first floor where the Art Club is situated where all facilities are then on one level.
Social.
We pride ourselves on being a welcoming bunch, happy to connect, chat, share, learn and listen. All are welcome from absolute beginners to those that have a bit of knowledge and experience under their belts.
Painting.
There is ample space in the main open plan area for setting up an easel or area to paint/draw/create in. We also have a small more private room to work in should you need a quieter space. This room has a well stocked supply of art materials and equipment for use by members.
Craft Room.
We have a light and spacious craft room with an abundant supply of fabrics, threads, trimmings, sewing machine, overlocker, scissors, tools and equipment, again all available to members.
Main Open Plan Space.
This area has many tables and chairs set up allowing plenty of space to work in, suitable for workshops, groups and individuals to create. Members also have the opportunity to hire this space for exhibitions either individually or as a group. And by the way we have had daylight bulbs installed here so excellent conditions for painting/working in.
