le Moorland & District Art Group

The group was formed
in Carlton-le-Moorland in 1989 by the late Arthur Waller and by his wife Sheila
and now has about eighty members drawn from many local villages and nearby
towns.
We meet on the third
Thursday evening of most months of the year, in Carlton-le-Moorland village
hall, to enjoy demonstrations of widely varying aspects of art by visiting
artists locally, nationally and sometimes internationally known.
Such meetings allow members to get together, to borrow art magazines, videos and
dvds (from an excellent selection) and to receive information on forthcoming
local and national art events. For a small charge non-members are
always welcome at these meetings.
Each year the group
organizes several workshops year tutored by differing artists using a variety of
media. We also organize regular coach trips to places of
interest/exhibitions and have recently visited Oxford, Salford Quays, York and
London.
The group’s annual
exhibition, held in the village hall in October, has become a significant event
in Lincolnshire’s art scene. It is visited regularly by several
hundred people and the group takes great care to present such events on a
professional scale offering visitors good information, comfort, excellent
refreshments and visual delight.
During most weeks of
the year, on Thursday mornings from 10am to 1pm, members may enjoy a working
session at the village hall, essentially on a “do your own thing” activity.
A small charge is made to cover the cost of the hall and refreshments – again
non-members are made welcome. Indeed anyone visiting any of the
group's activities will invariably find a very warm and friendly atmosphere.

Mosaic Group
Bassingham Mosaics Group The Mosaics Group is still
meeting on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9pm in the Day Room at the Bassingham Care
Centre. The Day Room is entirely separate from the main Care Centre building, so
if you were interested in joining us, or just visiting to see what we're working
on, you won't be disturbing the Centre's residents. We completed the Group
project of a centrepiece for the floor of the new Community Hall at Hill Holt
Wood and Nigel Lowthrop was very pleased with the result. We're now
concentrating on individual projects in glass, making mosaic mirrors and smaller
items such as Christmas decorations and gifts.

The
mosaic group was responsible for creating the distinctive wall mosaics dotted
around Bassingham in the mid-1990s.
Yes,
we’re still doing mosaics! We meet regularly every Tuesday evening from 7pm to
9pm in the Heritage Room, and also do stained glass work. We are all working on
individual projects, and manage to chat, and also break for a ‘cuppa’ as
well. We
have a group project in the offing that is in the very earliest of stages.
You’re welcome to visit, to see just what we’re doing, and perhaps you’ll
like it enough to join our group.
