Have you ever thought about how much fun you could have learning to paint, or trying out some new techniques? Well you can pursue that dream in the ever-popular Thursday Art Group who meet every Thursday morning at Holt. With moments of laughter, keen discussions and sometimes absolute silent concentration, this is the group for you. We have a wonderful variety of media users including watercolour, acrylic, oil, pastel, pen and ink.

At 9.30am sharp everyone meets, armed with bags of enthusiasm and embarks on their morning, venturing into the world of inspiration and exasperation! There is always someone to help - with a friendly critique and encouragement accompanied by plenty of laughter. Perhaps we go home with a new masterpiece, perhaps not, but it is for sure that we will all be back next week for more!

We have recently been learning how to make zentangle patterns. After painting a watercolour wash the patterns are created using black, white, gold and silver pens. This was a very absorbing and therapeutic activity!

Summer weather allows some meetings to be spent "en plein air" in a beautiful garden close by.
