Art

Members work in a variety of media and do their own thing, with support and encouragement from each other rather than formal teaching, and practising artists invited from time to time to demonstrate or lead a workshop. The group keeps a small stock of resources and books to supplement members' own materials, and recently visited Cannon Hall Walled Garden for a workshop with a local artist who makes her own pigments from plants and other natural materials. It meets weekly on Monday afternoons, from 1pm until 3pm, at the Denby Dale Parish Council Building, which houses Skelmanthorpe Library. Members have the chance to exhibit their work in the exhibitions mounted in the building by Village Art.
