ART PICNICS 2010How 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. We provide the art materials – paper, pencils, charcoals, drawing boards. All that you need to bring is your lunch and any friends and family that you think will enjoy the experience too. All picnics start at 11 am and end with a review of the day’s work at 4 pm. See below the calendar for ticket prices or call the office on 020 8891 5455 for more information and to book your place. |
