This is Willard Wigan’s work, can you believe it ?

World renowned Wolverhampton micro artist  Dr. Willard Wigan MBE has created the St Edwards Crown in the eye of a needle to mark the Coronation of King Charles 111

We will do a return visit if and when and if his show is near us again.

Info kindly forwarded by  Phil Davidson.

Here you see the results of 12 of our art Appreciation group members visit to Eden Galleries, Newburgh on Saturday 22nd April.

An enjoyable, relaxing morning in a great venue followed by tasty lunch in the cafe upstairs. If you have never been to Eden Galleries now is the time as  a Strawberry exhibition is in full swing.

Our Van Gogh immersive experience on May 19th has to be extra £4 due to so many unexpected cancellations due to illness  and increased  coach cost.

We will still need to give a donation to St Michael le Belfry Church..

Hope this is acceptable.  Will you come in asap to pay the extra please.

We are showing our wonderful Art Appreciation Pottery Painting
at the weekly coffee morning on Tuesday 2nd May.

I’m sure you will all be as impressed as last time by the talent we have in our Art Appreciation Group. I am so please with all the group efforts, watch this space for pictures when available.  We all look forward to seeing you there – Maureen

Free entry to all, this lovely little art gallery has really done itself proud, with artists from across the area and age range. Well worth a visit.

More  info at desk on Tuesdays.

The Art Appreciation trip to Cambridge was a triptych of art styles from stained-glass in Ely Cathedral to a wonderful private art collection of the most diverse items ever under one roof (Kettle Yard), with a pinch of nostalgia in between at David Parr House.

The hotel was excellent, Don Fraser coach driver a star and we all seemed to get something from our visit, even the none artistic, who just came along for the ride.

Some brave souls took a punt on a Punt on the River Cam. They might as well have taken a dip in the river as it was so wet, but in true British Bulldog spirit they sang along the way, much to the amusement of the poor drenched  student punters.

One of our group was revisiting her childhood home and told us about her wonderful memories.

We are all looking forward to ‘Our Next Big Adventure’ hopefully in drier weather.

Take care all – Maureen
