We are delighted to announce that we are now open to new member applications to join our friendly society! Please contact Maggie on tasememsec@yahoo.com
At our lecture on 9th May, we began a new venture utilising the space at the back of Lovat Hall, Newport Pagnell, our venue. Two young artists, who each also volunteer at Milton Keynes Gallery, gave a presentation of examples of their artwork. Sarika Dhorajiwala is a recent graduate in Fine art from Loughborough University specialising in Textile Techniques and Design. She displayed her beautiful designs and fabrics and explained some of the techniques she has learned to interested members.
Sewing machines have been donated to an Eden primary school by The Arts Society Appleby in Westmorland in a bid to support students creativity. Over recent years the society has been supporting local schools - from an innovative project with Appleby Grammar School during Covid which enabled the school to purchase digital equipment and provide art workshops and a day of art for young carers allowing them to relax and enjoy art away from their home environment.
Please note that our June lecture will take place on 18 June, as scheduled.

We were lucky with some sunshine when we visited Farleys. The beautiful home of Roland Penrose, Lee Miller and their son Antony. As well as a guided tour of the house we strolled through the sculpture garden and admired works such as The Fallen Giant. The Lee Miller Gallery was captivating - such amazing photography.
