The Art Sale was a great success
Rosemary Gowland (GSA Secretary) writes:
People not only bought something, they tried new techniques and went away with bargain materials to try out new skills.
We also had a new member join our society and many visitors who had not been to Nature in Art before were delighted to visit the museum and coffee shop. A couple of people I spoke to were interested in the art courses there. They're really great value for money with top artists who are good teachers leading them.
The images below were painted by visitors using ink from used computer printer cartridges. How much ink gets wasted in this way, and what a fun way to try it out. Just be careful to protect your clothes 😊 Thanks to Michael Butler for leading this workshop.
