Broad Brush Collective (Art Group)

We are a small group who meet twice a month in Paxford Village Hall for Life Drawing and Printmaking.

This is an opportunity to try something not often available outside studios and college.

We pay a small annual subscription and a fee for the day.

LIFE DRAWING

We have a selection of both male and female models for a two hour morning session once a month.

We are not tutor-led but we are all willing to share our knowledge and experience. Any medium can be used.

PRINTMAKING

We meet one day in each month and are fortunate to have our own press so are able to use a variety of methods.

Previous experience is not essential and our friendly group are happy to help.

Anything Goes Art Group

This local art group now meets monthly in Paxford Village Hall. Come and explore ‘doing it your way’ within a friendly group, using paint, glue, paper, found objects, photographs etc to create your own unique piece of art. A monthly prompt offers pause for thought. If you want to be creative on your own terms and let go of boundaries call Sue 01386 593505.

Paxford Walking group

Come and enjoy the countryside with us.

We are a friendly group of walkers who meet every Tuesday morning to enjoy fresh air, exercise and a good chat, and sometimes a coffee afterwards.

Our walks are in the surrounding area and cover a 4 to 5 mile route over 2 ½ hours.

If you would like to join us please get in touch -
