'Out and About Challenge' painted by members during the Covid restrictions
During lockdown, the Monday afternoon group continued connecting through their Facebook group and on Zoom. One of the things that started was setting a “challenge” topic - and everyone painted their own interpretation, with some great results. Everyone enjoyed it so much we decided to keep it going as a monthly challenge - you may have seen the “Challenge Box” in the rooms? Here are the results of this month’s challenge, “Out and About”.

Vibrant colour was happening all around when Lorna Ballantyne Epps ran an Alcohol Inks workshop at the Society Rooms on Sunday 1th September. Everyone came away with a number of lovely pieces as well as receiving a frame for their favourite. |
