A weekly, self-directed, painting and drawing group for experienced artists. Meeting once a week in Packsaddle Studio (located at the rear of the NERAM building) this is an opportunity to come work alongside other experienced artists, network, learn and be inspired. There is no regular tutor but each week, the session finishes with a group critique to review the day's efforts and give and receive feedback.
