Winter Programme 2025 - 2026

The Winter Programme 2025-2026 begins on Tuesday 2nd September 2025.

These sessions are on Tuesday evenings from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at Cowbridge Hall, Cowbridge, Hertford SG14 1PG. Approximately half the evenings in the Winter Programme are for Members’ Workshops, some tutor led, some just as a group practice. There may be a small charge for workshop materials. This season includes still life arrangements, life models, printing and paper craft. The remaining evenings are taken up with talks, critiques of paintings brought along by Members or demonstrations from a professional artist.

Visitors are very welcome to come along to talks, demonstrations and critiques of Members’ work (Charge £5).

Saturday Life Workshops will recommence on 27th September 2025 and non-Members are welcome. Charges £20 per session for Members; £25 for visitors. See details on Life Workshops below.

The Members’ Show will be held from Friday 31st October to Sunday 2nd November 2025 and Members can contribute up to 4 paintings or other artworks to this Show.
