Chronicle & Echo 25th April

Congratulations to Colin and Leora who feature in the article on our Spring into Summer exhibition in this week's Northampton Chronicle & Echo, as well as Bill the exhibition organiser. Well done chaps!

Press day and the opening of our Annual Network Arts Exhibition down at 78 Derngate yesterday.

We should have a feature in next week's Chronicle & Echo, and you may have heard us on BBC Radio Northampton last week as well.

This is Leora's winning picture - congratulations!! Also to Avrel and Colin for their wins. Now who will get the People's Choice?

Take your friends and family down to the exhibition - on until the end of June.

Great workshop last weekend with Anuk Naumann - fantastic that she stepped in a the last minute when another tutor was unable to make it.

Hope everyone has been inspired to get busy with the glue and tonking.

Check out 'Galleries' tab to see some of the work produced at the workshop - and apologies in advance if your work is upside down, a bit fuzzy or missing!

Another great turnout today for the Street Scenes in Acrylic workshop with Hashim Akib demonstrating and Jacky Smith leading the afternoon workshop session.

 There's a new section on the website - a collage of the work produced at the workshop - hope you find yours there - remember some is unfinished. Click on the 'Galleries' tab to take a look.

Daler Rowney kindly supplied samples of their System 3 Heavy Body acrylics for members to try at the workshop - thanks Lema for organising this.
