Chippenham Art Group meets monthly on Wednesdays in St Paul’s Church Hall, Greenway Lane, Chippenham. It’s led by artist Fran Young and organised by our experienced community services coordinator Pam Ollis.
Projects ranging from painting and drawing to collage, printing, crafts, clay modelling and more. We work at a leisurely pace with plenty of time for conversation and connection. No previous experience of art is necessary and everyone works at their own pace. People can also work on their own projects and develop their own ideas.
Family carers are welcome at the group as full members and encouraged to join in to create their own pieces of art.
If you’d like to come along as a group member, or for more information, please call Pam on 01380 739055, or to register your interest please use the form below.
This group is kindly part-funded by Chippenham Borough Lands Charity. Please note, to help towards our costs and materials we ask everyone to pay £6 ‘on the door’ (or you can use our flexible Pay what you Can scheme).
