Watford and Bushey Art Society (WBAS) is for people who enjoy the creation of fine arts. Our society welcomes artists of all levels or people with just an interest in the process of making art. At our monthly meetings professional artists demonstrate the use of various techniques to our members and visitors; it could be about oils, acrylics, watercolour, pastels or many other techniques or a talk on an art related subject.
One thing is for sure, whoever the guest or whichever method they use, these meetings are always full of hints and tips for all artists, no matter what their preferred medium. We hope to inspire our members with creative ideas to pursue their own art in any direction they choose.
WBAS members also have many opportunities to exhibit and sell their work, with exhibitions in various venues around the area. Please note however that while we love to exhibit our members original art whether by brush, pastel, collage, etching, lino cut or other similar hand created work. We do NOT exhibit photographic or digital work other than prints of original art and only then as unframed work in certain exhibitions.

OUR RECENT WORKSHOP WITH ARTIST JAN MUNRO
After a long break, we decided to organise a workshop for both members and non-members. The theme was “Still Life in Acrylic and Collage” and it was lead by Artist Jan Munro. The workshop was held in the Frobisher Studio, behind the Bushey Museum. This is a unique Studio, steeped in history, spacious and warm, with plenty of natural light and perfect for this event.
Jan’s step by step instructions were clear to follow and despite a little apprehension from some less experienced participants, each person crafted a unique piece that truly reflected their individual style. The process was described as being “not only exciting but also deeply satisfying”. The participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity to spend a busy, creative day in a friendly atmosphere.
It may have been a while since we last organised a workshop, but it won’t be as long before we organise another! So watch this space……
