Rum's Eg Workshops and Events To Look Forward To This Spring

Hampshire Art and Craft CIC Community Update

We have nearly completed Phase 2 building work: Rum's Cafe on the first floor and the second floor office and educational/community creative spaces.

The cafe is doing really well and is already favoured by many regular customers who love our homemade cakes, soups and quiches, and the relaxed and comfortable ambience.

Planned for the months ahead, Hampshire Art and Craft CIC have a calendar of events and workshops prepared for adults, children, and families to enjoy at Rum's Eg in Romsey:

 

For Adults

There are still some spaces left on out current Winter Workshop Programme. A Spring Workshop programme for adults is currently being finalised and workshops will now take place in the newly completed Leckford Art Studio on the second floor - it is set to include:
  • Shaker Box Making, 
  • Round Willow Baskets, 
  • Hand Built Pottery, 
  • Broken China Mosaics, 
  • Nuno Felt Scarves, 
  • Life Drawing, 
  • Animal Portraits, 
  • Silver Clay Jewellery 
and much more - more details very soon!

We are also planning to host Crafty Hen Parties (a variety of crafts can be offered, tutored by our artists and lunch and refreshments provided); also Drop -in Drawing Days (untutored, for artists to drop in on a casual basis and draw or paint a prearranged still life, wildlife, flower or human study using their own techniques and materials).

In May we are holding two exciting Adult 'Sketchathon' days led by professional Artists Katherine Howlett and Lindsey J Cole who will teach various sketching techniques to be used out and about in Romsey. Work produced on these days may be chosen to be exhibited at Rum's Eg during Romsey Festival in July.

 

For Children and Families

There will be Family Drop-in Creative Knitting workshops during the half-term holiday from 10.30 to 12.30 on 18th and 20th February

Easter Holiday workshops for children are also being planned and will include 'Easter Felt Pictures', St George's Dragons and Origami Spring Flowers

In May there will be Childrens' Sketchathon Workshops on 27th and 28th - some of the work will be shown at Rum's Eg during the Romsey Festival in July - more details soon!
