Arts Centre President Meryl Miller told News Of The Area, “In 2023 we look forward to a year filled with creativity and making new friends within the community.

“The vision of the Arts Centre is ‘Cultivating Creativity and Friendship via Community Arts and Crafts’.”

The centre offers a whopping seventeen different art activities for members to enjoy.

These crafts are Bonsai, Creative Textiles (Fusion), Embroidery, Craft, Knitting, Life Drawing, Mosaics, Painting (acrylic, oil, pastels, watercolour), Paper Craft, Patchwork, Pottery, Printing, Polymer Clay, Quilling, Spinning and Weaving, Tai Chi and Woodwork.

Meryl invites interested community members to pop into the gallery or visit the centre’s website to view activity days and times.

“We look forward to inviting members to come and join our thriving community in 2023.

“You can try three times before you join.

“What makes us different?

“Our welcoming community members help each other, enjoy one another’s company and continue to learn from their own and other’s experiences,“ she said.

Gallery Manager Di Adamson said, “In January our gallery will be showing works with a theme of exploring black and white images, with a touch of colour.

“As a contrast, there will also be an exhibition of watercolour paintings (framed and unframed) for you to enjoy.”
