Art and Friends,
Tea and Biscuits
Thrive as an artist and form new friendships
For over 60 years our Thornbury Art Club has been a place for like-minded people who love to paint together and share experiences in a friendly atmosphere. Our monthly events are a perfect opportunity to meet local creatives while listening to accredited artists give talks, instruct and demonstrate their particular techniques. Tea and biscuits during the breaks are the best part, of course.
