Dunfermline Art Club 2008, our anniversary year.


September saw the start of the Art Club's 2007/2008 session and this year we are celebrating our 125th annivesary.

We have planned an exciting programme of demonstrations and workshops in the coming year for members of the Club.

In addition to the above, club member Frank McCormick, is currently holding tutorial sessions to members on a Mondays 11am till 4pm. Its "back to basics" time so if you want to brush up on your drawing skills or are new to drawing and sketching and would like to learn the key areas, pop up and join in. Franks drawing classes have become very popular with 10 members taking part on a continued basis, and once the better weather arrives, Frank intends on carrying out sketching "plein air"
