Winter Theme with Glossop Art group




Last night we had another lively get together with the delightful members of Glossop Art Group. We do this on a twice a year basis. We go to them and then they come to us and last night it was our turn to host. The idea is that a theme is agreed upon and then we all meet up with our art depicting this theme. Kind of like a Show & Tell. This time around our theme was Winter which brought out some fantastic and varied ideas. As usual, there was a variety of mediums and styles on show. There were watercolours, pastels, pencil sketches, acrylics, mixed media, glass and for the first time a mouse mat and cup. And it won't surprise anyone who regularly attends these events to find that some pieces were being finished just as they were leaving the house to get there. After Norma held all the works up for all to see, one by one and those responsible gave us a quick insight into their inspiration, we broke to enjoy a wonderful buffet.


Many thanks go out to all who turned up to make it such a buzz of an event. Also to all the members who generously donated food and helped out in the kitchen. I'd also like to thank those who brought in more Christmas tree decorations. I think at last count, we have around 100 in all.


If you're reading this, we'd love to know you've visited online, so please do leave a comment and say hi :)
