Workshops

We run a popular series of workshops tutored by an artist of local or
national standing and subjects cover a wide spectrum of painting media and
techniques.
Workshops are held in either Loders or Salwayash village halls, just
outside Bridport (less than 10 mins). They usually run from 10 am till 4 pm.
Numbers are usually limited to 16 members.
The cost per workshop is £30. Non members £60.00 or £45 if they join the Society.
Participants usually need to take their own art materials and will be advised
what to take.
Art society members will receive application forms by email or post.
Non-members who are interested in attending a workshop should enquire
via the ‘Contact Us’ form.
