Monthly meetings at the Fencible Lounge

Club meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of every month at the Fencible Lounge, Uxbridge Road, Howick next to the Howick Library. They are well attended by both Associate and Working Members who are keen to share the passion they have for their craft or to learn the techniques of the variety of mediums available to the artist today.

Demonstrations are done by mainly local artists but occasionally a visitor will come from further afield. All are willing to pass on their tips and information learned over many years. A workshop is often offered by the artist within the following two weeks and are very popular.

These are very enjoyable and interesting evenings ending with light refreshments and supper, an opportunity to peruse the demonstration up close and to ask more questions of the demonstrator. A library is also available on the night to borrow art DVD’s, books and magazines for one month at a small cost.

Our monthly meetings are also a chance to get to know other artists in our local area and to make some lifelong friends. Many members have taken up painting as a hobby in later years, some are self taught, while others are learned in this area and/or are currently taking lessons or are professionals and have painted since their childhood. Howick Art Group is a group for all ages and levels and where everyone is welcome.

By Leave a Comment

Hello everyone,

Well that time of year has rolled by yet again, November 22nd will be our last meeting for this year. Please join us at the library Fencible Lounge at 7.00pm for our annual Christmas party. This year we want you to get creative, design and make a festive table decoration, prizes will be given for the biggest, best, most original (not too big, if it doesn’t fit on the table it will be disqualified).

By popular demand we will be having a quiz throughout the evening, with prizes for the winners, (teams of no more than 4 please to make it fair). We will also be having some music interludes from the lovely Amy who you will remember from last year. Wine and juice will be provided, but we ask that everyone attending please bring a plate of food to share. Look forward to seeing you all there.

On behalf of the Howick Art Group the committee will be making its annual donation to Totara Hospice.
The membership cards for 2018 are being printed and will be available soon, meanwhile a list of the new committee members is shown below.
