NEW ARTS AND CRAFTS GROUPS AT A' THE AIRTS!
From January, we have added to our programme of Arts and Crafts groups for the local community. These are social, self supporting groups where people with similar interests can meet and share ideas. Please telephone 01659 50514 for more details and to find out availability of places.

ART GROUPS:  Tuesdays, 6.30 - 8.30 pm. Thursdays, 1.30 - 3.30 pm.  £2.00 per session. Our new art groups, using a range of mediums, now take place twice a week. These are proving to be so popular that the Thursday afternoon group is currently full, but there are still spaces on Tuesday evenings. Suitable for complete beginners who want to learn from others and more experienced artists who want to paint with others and share ideas.

POTTERY GROUP:  Tuesdays, 10.00 am – 12.00pm. £2.00 per session. Following on from the success of our first pottery course and making full use of our recently acquired kiln, we are now holding a weekly pottery group. Suitable for anyone. Beginners particularly welcome. Why not come along and give it a try.  There may be some additional charges for clay and glazes.

CREATIVE WRITING GROUP: 1st Wednesday of each month. £2.00 per session. A new group has started for people wishing to improve their writing skills. We will be looking at different aspects of writing each time and there will also be a slot for people to share their own writing, or a piece of published prose they admire. Everyone welcome, from beginners through to more experienced writers. You don’t have to commit to every meeting.

PHOTOGRAPHY GROUP: Monday evenings, once a fortnight. £2.00 per session. We are a mixed group, from total amateur through to more experienced; we learn from one another about using our cameras, and how to take a good photo. We occasionally ask a professional photography to attend, to provide more information and help. We also intend, when the weather improves, to have outings, and occasional exhibitions of our work. Additional fees may apply when there is a visiting professional.

DRAMA GROUP: Every 2ndTuesday 7.00 - 9.00 pm. If you are interested in acting or any aspect of drama production, please come along.  We hope to also organise some drama workshops led by professionals (additional fees may apply). Contact to check dates of meetings and for more information.

KNITTING GROUP:  Mondays 2.00 pm – 4.00 pm. £2.00 per session. Our knitting group is now well established but new members are always welcome. Bring along what you’re working on, have a chat and a cup of tea or coffee and share tips and ideas!

SANQUHAR POETRY GROUP: 1st Tuesday of every month, 7.00 pm.
This well-established poetry groups now meets in Café Airtisans every month. If you are interested in reading or writing poetry, please come and join us!
