At time of writing, June is… changeable. Some forecast a heatwave, others forecast the new Flood. What’s for sure is that it is possible to be outside, making art, well into the evening – past 9 o’clock even! You could also get up for a 4.30 am start, but that’s entirely up to you.

Members have recently had details of arrangements for the Summer exhibition at the Hillier Gardens. Please volunteer! The submission form will be circulated shortly. Details of Hampshire Open Studios will also be circulated soon. We have the draft programme from the organisers for proof reading (and found some errors!)
