Art Appreciation will be held at The Bookery -in a space in the back of the shop. The timing should allow people to park in the town car park if needed.
The cost will be a donation to the Bookery of £2.50 which includes refreshments.
There is disabled access if anyone has difficulty with stairs. Please ask the bookshop staff if you are unsure of access.

We will discuss the art and whether we like it or not and possibly discover why?
Jane will email out to the signed up list 10 days before the session to ask for volunteers… if no volunteers appear - I will bring a selection to choose from. I love art of all kinds… but am by no means an expert… we will learn from each other.

Nest Meeting

The meetings are on the 4th Thursday of each month 2-3.45 p.m. in the Bookery. For more information on each session please email Jane on artyjane0@gmail.com or phone 07967137032

please contact Jane if you are thinking of joining this group
