[BAS Newsletter] Bromley Art Society 1st Friday demonstration this Friday 12 May 7pm Daylight Inn + Last opportunity to put your name down to attend our workshop by Susan Clare on Thursday 8th June.

[Paul Stringfellow]

Dear members and friends,

*1st Friday demonstration by Elaine Almond.*

Just a reminder that we have our delayed 1st Friday demonstration this 
Friday 12th May, 7pm at the Daylight Inn.

This is free to all members who additionally are most welcome to bring 
along a colleague for a small entrance fee of £6.00.

This Friday is an exclusive live demonstration by Elaine Almond – 
Acrylics and inks.

Colourful, spiritual, sometimes quirky and inspired by nature and life 
experiences, Elaine paints expressively in acrylics, inks, uses collage 
and occasionally oils. She is an intuitive artist and teacher, who loves 
abstract and semi-abstract forms. A former psychotherapist and lay 
minister, she sees art as a means of self-expression and emotional 
connection and is interested in how ideas and feelings translate onto 
the canvas and how this affects the individual. Paintings are mostly 
colourful, multi-layered, in series with a common colour palette or theme.

Elaine works from her studio in West Kent, exhibits locally, around the 
south east, at national art fairs, and was shortlisted in the National 
Open Art competition in 2017. She offers individual and group art 
classes, and is a member of the Pure Arts Group and Sevenoaks Visual 
Arts Forum, Ginger Cactus Art Collective and Sevenoaks Art Club. Her 
work is in private collections in the UK, Eire and Canada.

Hope to see you there.

*Last opportunity to put your name down to attend a special workshop by 
Susan Clare Thursday 8th June. *

Thank you for your interest shown so far. I have put everyone's name 
down that have expressed interest in attending and I will send out a 
confirmation to individuals soon.  However there are still just 3 or 4 
places left for members. Priority will be given to members but 
colleagues of members would also be welcome at the same cost of approx 
£28pp if there is sufficient space. *Please let me know within the next 
week please.*

A reminder of the details ...

Susan Clare was our 1st Friday demonstrator at the Daylight Inn. Susan 
had excellent feedback and I have been asked if there could be a 
follow-up workshop for members.

As Susan is still in England for the next month or so I have asked if 
she could offer us a workshop. For this purpose I have tentatively 
secured the Drawing Room at Ripley Art Centre on Thursday 8th June 10am 
until 3pm.

The doors will open around 9:30 for the workshop to begin promptly at 
10am. There will be a break for lunch around 12 Noon - 1pm and then the 
workshop will end promptly at 3pm. You are welcome to bring your own 
lunch refreshments and both the Kitchen and the gardens (which the 
Drawing room opens out onto) will be available to us during the lunch 
break. The subject of the workshop can be adapted at this stage but it 
is likely to be semi-abstract acrylics. A required materials list to 
bring along will be provided nearer the time.

This will be a non-profit event but one that we will never the less need 
to charge for attending the workshop. We are looking for an optimum of 
15 people and places will be on a first come basis.

Entrance fee is likely to be around £28:00 pp for the day and will need 
to be pre-booked.

This will be the first workshop that Bromley Art Society will have 
staged, that I am aware of, so we need to gauge memberships interest.

Therefore please let us know if you are interested in attending. If we 
have sufficient people we will go forward with the booking.

Kind Regards,*

Paul*
