Workshops
We run a popular series of workshops each year; often these are a follow-up of an art demonstration. Subjects cover a wide spectrum of painting media and techniques.
Numbers of attendees may be limited, with a maximum and minimum requirement dependent on the nature of the workshop and the venue. If insufficient members apply for a workshop, non-members may attend.
Workshops are usually held in a venue in or near Bridport, e.g. Salwayash Village Hall, just outside Bridport. On occasion, they may be held in a particular artist’s studio.
BAS members are offered priority booking at a discounted price.
The cost per workshop for 2026 is as follows:
Full day workshop: members £35.00, non-members £70.00.
Participants usually need to take their own art materials; they will be advised in advance by the organiser.
Tutor led sessions are often available at the Come & Paint meetings. Go to Come & Paint>
