ART PICNICS 2009How do you see the borough?Do you focus on the buildings or the open spaces, the people, the trees, the wildlife… Come along to one of the Environment Trust’s Art Picnics and explore the detail in the beauty around you, with expert tuition from local artists. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in, so don’t let lack of experience or doubt about your ability put you off – each session will be supervised by well known local artists who will guide and encourage you. All that you need to bring is your lunch and any friends and family that you think will enjoy the experience too. We provide the art materials – paper, pencils, charcoals, drawing boards – but we do ask for a contribution of £15 per individual (£10 for Environment Trust members) or £30 (£20) per family (two or more people, at least one of whom is under 18 years old). Advance booking is esssential. Please call the office on 020 8891 5455 for tickets and details. All picnics start at 11 am and end with a review of the day’s work at 4 pm. |
