SUMMARY:The World of Glass: World of Glass: The Art Club Saint Helens
DESCRIPTION:The Art Club Saint Helens\n\nThe Art Club Saint Helens was form
 ed in 1924\, ninety nine years ago. Initially\, the annual subscription wa
 s one guinea\; extremely expensive and prohibitive at the time. In 1927\, 
 the annual fee was reduced to two shillings. In 1943 Saint Helens Art Club
  held an exhibition in Port Sunlight\, invited by the Lady Lever Art Galle
 ry. The club’s reputation spread from there. Further exhibitions followe
 d. The club recognised the need for exhibitions\, holding an annual exhibi
 tion at the Manchester Art Gallery\, among others. Members were selected a
 fter submitting works. Works shown in the Annual Exhibitions were also sel
 ected. Initially\, the membership consisted of business owners and art tut
 ors\, but later\, ordinary workers joined.\n\nNowadays the Art Club Saint 
 Helens welcomes all adults with interests in producing visual art. While m
 ost members produce realistic art\, some like to abstract their studies. 
  Members often try different methods or mediums\, (oils\, watercolour\, pa
 stels\, inks\, pencils etc.\,) and sometimes hold workshops with the group
  to try these out (usually great fun). There is no right or wrong\, it is 
 art.\n\nFor many years The Art Club Saint Helens resided in the Gamble Bui
 lding\, in the town centre. When the building closed\, requiring structura
 l work\, we migrated to the World of Glass\, in Chalon Way\, Saint Helens\
 , WA10 1BX. It is a beautiful\, bright\, relaxing building with a café\, 
 a lovely outside space and is disabled friendly. There is onsite parking\,
  and it is handy for buses.\n\nWe are a friendly adult group\, always will
 ing to accept new members (no auditions). We love meeting new members\, wi
 th new ideas. Working with others is very inspiring and there is always so
 meone to advise.\n\nThe group decides themes for each week. We make art fr
 om still life\, painting models\, each other\, using photos and sometimes 
 outside. If someone dislikes the subject\, they choose their own. There is
  no pressure. We have demonstrations and workshops\, sometimes by group me
 mbers\, sometimes by guest demonstrators\, and occasional trips out to ven
 ues decided by the members. We have joined Liverpool Urban Sketchers occas
 ionally\, sketching in and around the World of Glass.\n\nWe have exhibitio
 ns of our works annually\, and whenever possible.\n\nIt is not necessary t
 o “be able to draw”\, there are many ways and styles of making marks a
 nd producing art.\n\nWe meet at the World of Glass on Saturday mornings\, 
 10am-12am. Presently we work in the Sankey Suite\, first floor\, although 
 we are sometimes in the Reflections suite\, second floor. Reception staff 
 at the entrance can advise.\n\n 	8th April: Favourite landscape\n 	15th Ap
