Proposed Visit To Dave Pearson Trust in Haslingden
I am hoping to sort out a visit to the Dave Pearson Trust in
Haslingden. Members have shown interest in viewing the work of
this leading art figure from the Valley who passed away a couple
of years ago. His former studio has been transformed into a
store/gallery and is packed with hundreds if not thousands of
works. There may be a charge for this. The trust are currently
organising a show in London so this would need to take place in
summer.
Let me know if you are interested.

Proposed Print Boxed Set
Members have shown interest in swapping work, inspired by the
20:20 Hot Bed Press exchange. It is the plan to produce a boxed
set of prints which could be swapped by all members. Each member
would need to produce an edition of prints (size of paper to be
confirmed) which would be collated , presented in a box of some
sort (to be decided) and swapped between class members. Obviously
there would be a charge for the boxes (I would imagine around £10
max).
Once again let me know if you are interested.
Best wishes
Alan

classes to prepare a

However after two weeks I
was hooked ! After five months
came my first success; an
acceptance into the
