New Society mural on the Howe Street wall

The Society recently had special panels printed by Signarama with a design by Jenni Gander, the Society's Treasurer, to put our rooms on the map.   Visitors and new members will now find it much easier to find our workshop and exhibition rooms.

New Mural on southern wall

A small band of art Society members spent 5 days in January 2021 painting a 30x3m mural on the southern wall of the Society's workshop building in Lambton Park. it features a design by longstanding member, Publicity Officer and former President, Bob Saxon.  At some 100m2 it's the largest painting any of them had done before and without prior experience!
