When Robina Hattersley went “Round the World with a Sketchbook” she deliberately left India out. But now she has been to India many times, and has sketches and watercolours, particularly of South India. She has put together two talks, illustrated with paintings. One is “A Village in Tamil Nadu in my Sketchbook”, and the other, ”In South India with my Sketchbook In 2011”. They are available for booking now.
Jan has a new demonstrations called ‘Moods’ where she demonstrates how to incorporate 'mood' into either a portrait, landscape or still life by using a limited palette - limited meaning only 2 colours! If you would like to book Jan for this fascinating demonstration please give us a call.
Cheryl says "I have a deep passion for creating art work, I'd like to say works of art but that is in the eye of the beholder. My early experiences were to learn from and enhance other artists work through my picture framing. Now I am able to pass on my knowledge to others through my teaching. I am a member of the Redditch Art Circle and am available for demonstrations and workshops in the West Midlands."
I was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England and educated there in the 1960s. Later, I was awarded a Honours Degree in Fine Art with Art History, at Falmouth School of Art in Cornwall, where my tutors included Patrick Heron and Terry Frost. A teaching career in Lancashire and Dorset followed, during which time I continued to produce and exhibit my own work. In 2001, I left the school environment to concentrate on my own work and take up a career lecturing on the History of Art for the Workers Education Association (WEA). I offer a series of lectures as detailed below. I am available for talks in Dorset, Somerset, East Devon and Somerset.
Mike was born in Lancashire in 1970 and now lives in Devon with his young family.
Wildlife Art I like to work on a large scale, mainly painting in acrylic on board. I have exhibited work at the National Exhibition of Wildlife art, the Mall Galleries, Marwell International Wildlife Art Society and at the British Bird Fair. My work has sold both nationally and internationally.
Illustration I have worked as a freelance illustrator for the last 10 years. My illustrations have appeared in books, magazines, posters, brochures, leaflets and identification panels. They range from small scientific studies to large 4 metre murals. Mike is available for demonstrations and workshops in Devon, West Somerset and West Dorset.

After leaving school in the late sixties I trained in studio pottery and for many years operated my own ceramics studio, and then in 1991 became a full time student at Brighton University gaining formal Art Qualifications, and a Cert.ed Teaching qualification. Over the last few years I have delivered workshops of my own in Watercolours and Acrylics. I am an authorised Chroma Tutor for the Atelier interactive acrylics. I have also given demonstrations to local Art Societies and been well received with a number of requests for a return visit. I am available for demonstrations and workshops in Watercolour, acrylics, pencils and line and wash in Sussex and Kent.
Has any of your committee or members an Email address we can use for future mailings? We know some programme secretaries don’t have a computer or email address but wonder if one of the committee or even art group members would mind receiving emails on behalf of the group. This would mean we would be able to keep in touch more frequently with new artists, events and offers. If you have an email we can use please just give me a call on 01234 764232.
