Shifting to Teaching Online

The start of the pandemic coincided with the start of a new tutor – Vicky Saumarez, in the spring of 2020. Unable to meet at the studio, some members of the group were able to continue to meet and create at the Framfield Allotments in Hanwell, enjoying the beautiful summer weather and producing a fabulous variety of work as seen in the allotments gallery. We are most grateful to the allotment holders for their hospitality.

As the weather went downhill, to stop spirits heading the same direction, teaching shifted online and the new norm became weekly classes via Zoom which Vicky calls ‘4020 Art Club’. The classes produce some super work as seen in the gallery which is updated regularly.
