Visit to Birmingham Cathedral, February 14th

Status

2

Edward Burne Jones and William Morris, what a collaboration of  artistic talents|?  Hope to do a trip to visit the beautiful stained glass windows in the Cathedral. £30 including coach and entry.  Cost depending on 30 members plus  Birmingham Art Galley just a short walk from Cathedral (  free entry ) We learn something every day and I have j done just that. Watching Flog it, one of my favourite Jewelers, Arthur Gaskin has a selection of his and his wife Georgie’s beautiful creations at the Museum. I have been  trying to get a tour of this gallery, however it will add a little to the cost. Who cares? When such wonderful art is on show. Not had any confirmation as yet of tour. But we’re going anyway we can always look in awe.A silver pendant by Arthur and Georgie Gaskin – The Pear ...

Date February 14th  8.30 am from Maghull Square.  Home about   6pm

Make it a Valentines Day date.

Sefton Artists are back on The Landing.
From 2 December 2023 – 20 January 2024.

Sefton Artists was formed in 2010 by a small group of artists. They met weekly to paint and share ideas. From their small beginnings the group has grown and now includes members from all regions of Sefton and from West Lancs. They meet weekly in Lydiate Village Centre.   This is a free event, just call in if your Christmas shopping in Southport

Step back in time @ Victoria Gallery and Museum

 Hi all  this is something very different to our usual visits however I am sure true art lovers will benefit a great deal as you will be required  to think about what your seeing and hearing and as is usual with our group, ask many pertinent questions.

P.S if you have never visited this gallery you are in for a treat

in art and architecture.

 

 

N.B  date / time is to be decided as Curator can not do 20th

Revised accommodation for Art Appreciation, Cornwall trip 2024

Hello all

I have been in touch with Airedale tours once again to request a change of hotel for this Art lovers trip March 2024 or I would have to cancel  I have always been aware if its shortfalls and told them from the start WE do not want this hotel. They assure me they will find a good replacement ,possibly a nearby Premier Inn, at the same cost hopefully with b/b and evening meal deal.. The problem is we are such a large group and most St Ives hotels are not able to accommodate so many.  I need to know if anyone has a reason not to stay at Premier Inn or similar.

The cost is very reasonable for Cornwall . Itinerary stays the same,

23rd March. a.m      Tate St Ives………..   then  free afternoon in St Ives

24th March a.m        Barbara Hepworth Museum then Trengwainton Gardens.

(Nat Trust) free  if a member

Let me know if you are concerned about anything please.

Best wishes,  Maureen
