This is on Saturday this weekend at 11am. You dont have to want to go to Canada to attend. Sorry the flyer might be confusing. Its a fun raiser for SEAS to raise money for the running of the Old Stables and for prizes for our up and coming members exhibition. If you are free for a couple hours Saturday please come along and have a look at my photos. Will be showing as a slide show. Please support your Art Society.

Last weekend we had Robin Hicks from Adelaide come down to the stables and do a 12 hr 2 day watercolour workshop. 11 people joined in and all had a great time and learnt a few new techniques. Was a great workshop and will get her to come down again in 2027.
