Haydon Artists Society
A friendly art group that meet weekly in Swindon.
Where and when do we meet?
We meet weekly at the Des Moffatt Community Centre, Somerset Road, from 6:45pm – 9pm Thursdays. We organise a number of events during the year sometimes this includes visitors who do demonstrations or trips to local art galleries and events.
Anyone interested in joining our group can come along on a Thursday evening, or contact Barbara Moody.
Who can come?
Anyone who is intereseted in art and can bring their own art projects. We have members who paint with water colours, acrylics, oils, pastels, and others who bring craft work. All standards of artists are welcome, we encourage new members especially beginners. Although we are not a class, people will help if they are asked.
