Tutored Workshops

A number of tutored workshops, led by professional artists, are organised through the year. These are held in St Luke's Church Hall in Greetham Street, Portsmouth. Details can be found in the Programme page.

Thursday Workshops

Every Thursday (in term time), a group of Society members meet to paint and draw in any medium. From Autumn 2010 these workshops will be held at a new venue, The Langstone Conference Centre, Furze Lane, Milton which is part of the Portsmouth University.  

Experienced members of the Society provide informal tuition and advice. The environment encourages sharing of information and ideas between members. We have an excellent library of art books.

Members may attend for the whole day (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) or choose between the morning (10 a.m. to 12 noon) and afternoon (1 p.m. to 3 p.m.) sessions. Members may choose to pay for the whole term or simply pay a 'drop-in' fee for sessions attended. Fees are £50 per term for a full day student, £25 per term for a half day student and £3 per half day for drop-in student.

The Society also provides all the equipment necessary for members to mount and frame finished work. Professional presentation of work is emphasised in the Society and advice and help are always available in the workshops.

The Thursday sessions follow school term times.
