We are open every Wednesday (except the last Wednesday of each month) from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.
Talks and demos can be cancelled or changed at short notice – even on the day. If a demonstrator cancels at the last minute, the evening will revert to a ‘do your own thing’ workshop.
Fair Oak Art and Craft Society was founded in 1979. We are a group of artists and crafters of varying ability from beginner to the more accomplished and welcome new members and guests at any time. Throughout the year we have a programme of talks, demonstrations and ‘have a go’ workshops on a variety of topics.
Members have the opportunity to exhibit work at the Spring and Autumn Exhibitions which takes place in April and November respectively and to particioate in tutor-led workshops. You can attend every week or as and when you like – visitors are always welcome.
Meetings
When: Wednesday Evenings 7:30pm to 9:30pm (7pm to 9:30pm in August)
Where: Village Hall, Shorts Road, Fair Oak, Eastleigh, SO50 7EJ
We aim to have a number of interesting art and craft talks and demonstrations during the year. On the other evenings we have workshops where you bring along your own project to work on. The last Wednesday of the month from May to Sept is, weather permitting, a painting/sketching day out. The venues are arranged a week or two beforehand.
The doors open at 7pm (6:45pm in August) and demonstrations/workshops start at 7.30pm (7pm in August). There will be a break after about an hour for tea/coffee, a biscuit and a chance to chat and look at the the work of others.
Workshop evenings, unless specified otherwise, involve everyone doing their own thing. Bring along your latest project and use this as an opportunity to get advice from fellow members and to talk to like minded people. In addition to these meetings members may be running workshops when a small fee (typically £1 – £5) for materials may apply.
