What We Have Been Doing Under Lockdown
Painting project
During the “lock down” period a number of us set out to produce a mosaic of tiles on the theme Woodland Flora. Here is the result so far.
Monthly Project—Harvest time
Normal Times
The aim of the group is to develop our skills and knowledge in drawing and painting, from the total beginner to the more experienced, using various mediums in an atmosphere of mutual help and encouragement. Above all, we intend to have fun!
The Painting Group meets in the Scout and Guide Headquarters in Matlock Green every Wednesday from 10.00 a.m. to 12 noon.
There is a charge of £1.50 per member per week to cover the cost of room hire and refreshments.
The group’s coordinator is Gill Oldroyd, who can be contacted by e-mail.
Each month we have a different “theme” whereby members can work on a painting – either at home or in class. On one of the monthly sessions we have a mini-workshop.

| January | ‘In the Style of’ |
| February | A Market Square |
