Open Day at Pewsham Locks
2024-09-14 | Pewsham Locks
The restoration of a former waterway on the edge of Chippenham will be celebrated at a special event this weekend. The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust is sharing the fascinating history of Pewsham Locks this Saturday 14th September.
The event includes a pop-up café and tours of the worksite and wildlife habitats, together with boat rides along the stretch which has already been rebuilt. The charity hopes it will encourage people to learn more about the restoration campaign and how they can get involved.

The pop-up café at the wharf includes outside seating and will be serving teas, coffees and cakes from 10am, when volunteers will also start taking small groups around the site to explain their current work and future plans.
Tours of the wildflower meadow and habitat management project will take place at Double Bridge at 11am and 2.30pm, while boat rides will depart from the locks approximately every 45 minutes from 12.30pm.
Refreshments and boat rides are available by cash donation or by scanning a QR code.
The open day is due to finish at around 3pm.

The event is being organised by the Melksham, Chippenham & Calne branch of the Trust. Spokesperson Brian Wright said:
“We hope people will make the most of this opportunity to take a closer look at the flight of locks which once lifted narrowboats on their journey between Melksham and Chippenham
Visitors will see the remains of the lock-keepers cottage and how we’re rebuilding the former dry dock and carpenter’s workshop, and creating new wildlife habitats alongside the canal. Depending on the water levels, they can also enjoy cruises to Double Bridge and back, with the chance to see kingfishers, herons, swans and even otters!
It’s a great way to encourage people to support our campaign to bring this wonderful waterway back to life.”
There is no visitor parking at the locks, but the site is just a short walk along a footpath from the edge of Pewsham. Directions are available at www.wbct.org.uk/mcc-events
Another open day is due to be held on Saturday 12th October.
For further information call 07510 326730 or email bright.wright@wbct.org.uk
The aim of the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust is to restore the waterway from the Kennet & Avon Canal near Melksham to the Thames & Severn Canal near Cricklade and the River Thames near Abingdon, connecting Chippenham, Calne, Royal Wootton Bassett and Swindon.

Still Life (drawing) for beginners
2024-09-17 09:30 - 11:30 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
‘Every course a revelation’
Uniquely designed and delivered 6 x 6 week courses for beginners. Taught by local artist and designer Charlie who has over 25 years experience teaching art. Tuesdays at 9.30am – 11.30am
Term 1 – Still life (drawing) – Sept 17th – October 22nd
In these sessions, we will follow the classic method for learning to draw and paint. It is easy to learn to draw by copying the example of a tutor leading the group, but this tends to produce a ‘house style’ where everyone ends up drawing in the same way.
Your drawing style is as unique to you as your handwriting (if school hasn’t obliterated it) – here you will learn to enhance your own drawing style, not replace it with mine.
Please note: all courses begin with drawing, and include a talk about relevant art movements and practitioners.
The £99 price includes all materials and coffee and biscuits (donations taken to help with refreshments)
Your place will be confirmed on receipt of payment and the booking via the website.
Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon

Life Drawing - Tuesday evenings
2024-09-17 19:00 - 21:00 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
“The best life drawing class I’ve found in years”
A chance to indulge, draw and to practise some essential drawing skills in a beautiful environment, guided by someone with over 25 years teaching experience. You’ll use a diverse range of styles and techniques that stretch you and keep you motivated to improve.
All while enjoying fresh coffee and meeting some other lovely local artists. You can work at your own pace and be left alone to draw if this is how you prefer to learn.
Tuesdays 7pm-9pm (Also on Wednesdays 9:30am-11:30am)
Life Drawing is challenging and rewarding, but like drawing anything else, it takes practice and patience.
The best way to encourage practice is to vary the media and techniques available; to make sure this is feasible, we provide materials for free. This also allows more confidence as using expensive personal materials tends to inhibit experimentation.
You are, of course, welcome to bring your own materials and follow your own path.
Weeks 3 and 6 are a chance to work from one long pose with any material/technique you choose; the other weeks begin with warm-ups to help you prepare, normally followed by one or two poses following a theme.
Sometimes the session is devoted to a worksheet-style drawing, using many poses on one sheet in different materials. These are a great opportunity to gain confidence in composition, materials and mark-making.
£105 for 6 x 2 hour session term or £20 cash drop-in option (just for our life drawing sessions)
