Open Day Sunday 16th August 2009
 

The Charles Evans Open Day is the 1 day of the year when we open our doors to the general public and offer 45 minute taster workshops in watercolours, oils and acrylics.

This is our fourth annual open day and every year we see more and more people attending from all over the country. This year we will be running our extended capacity marquees for the event.

For those who don't paint, there are demonstrations on all day, the gallery is open for you to view and or purchase paintings and there is also the Charles Evans Shop which sells all the materials that Charles uses as well as all the teaching materials such as books and DVD`s. 

Food and drink will, as usual, be manned by the catering team that we have in house.
