Painting and Drawing Classes – Friday Mornings 9.30am-12.30pm 9th Jan  – 20th March

The aim of this course is to focus on painting, developing and expanding your knowledge and understanding of colour and application of paint.  There will be a mixture of both experimental and abstract ways to make art alongside more traditional methods, referring to well known artists as we go. It is an informal and very welcoming group.

The course has been designed  by Liz Gregory, a local professional artist

Liz Gregory is a painter and printmaker based in the Blackdown Hills on the Devon/Somerset border, with a fine art degree from Birmingham College of Art. Her work stems from her immediate environment, and everyday and overlooked objects. Surrounded by farms Liz has a particular interest in the way farms in the Blackdown Hills have changed over the last fifty years.  Liz’s work is vibrant and lively, having a love of strong and bright colours. She has exhibited widely through the south west, been selected for the RWA, Mall Galleries & Thelma Hulbert and  has been awarded several bursaries over the years from SAW and been part of several successful art council bids. She has taken part in many local exhibitions, including Tractored by Beetles at the Somerset Rural Life Museum this summer, at which was displayed Torn, a meticulous drawing of a discarded piece of bailer wrap 6.7m x 2.3m that took six and a half years to produce. She has been teaching for over 30 years, but most recently has worked primarily for Spaeda and SAW. She started teaching at CICCIC in September 2025.
