Members' general meetings are held on the last Monday of the month, commencing at 7:30pm and finishing about 9pm. We generally have a talk or demonstration by a well-known artist or similar. The meetings are held in our rooms at Lambton. See the 'Contact Us' page for the location.

Previous Guest Demonstrators
Deanne Newland - Acrylic and Alcohol Inks.
Deanne Newland inspired many of us to experiment with acrylic and alcohol inks on yupo paper. The photos show her bright creations of acrylic ink abstract landscapes and alcohol ink flowers. Lee-Anne is organising a Soc of Art workshop with Deanne later in the year.

Jennifer Grace - Post Modernism.
Jennifer says: “I am a Post Modern style art-worker. I like to use symbolism and draw inspiration from historical themes,anything from the ancients to the post impressionist period. Much of my past work reflects a particular interest in medieval tapestries and ancient Greek mosaics. Pattern is a passion which I explore with linocut mono-printing, acrylic, shellac, charcoal, ink, graphite. The effect is reminiscent of tapestry or mosaic.
