Meetings, Workshops & Exhibitions Programme 2020
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic all events at the Cranleigh Art and Crafts Society have been cancelled for the whole of 2020.
We are hoping to be able to host a demonstration again from February 2021 depending on the Covid 19 situation then.
A Scope Newsletter is going out to all members shortly with further information.
Stay well and keep safe
History of the Cranleigh Art and Crafts Society
Cranleigh village is situated in the beautiful Surrey countryside halfway between Heathrow & Gatwick.
Fifty years ago when the population was 3000 a small group of individuals decided to form a local art group and membership rapidly climbed to 400.
Cranleigh was then regarded as the largest village in England! Today the population of Cranleigh is 20,000 and so our Society continues to serve the local interest in Art and Crafts.
Activities organised by the Society
The Society organises two Exhibitions in the Village Hall each year of local art & crafts and exhibit over 300 items by our Members.
There are monthly demonstrations on a Saturday afternoon in which we invite a professional painter to demonstrate their skills with oils, watercolours, acrylics, pastels and mixed media. These are well attended by our members and also provide an opportunity for members to meet and socialise and pick up hints and tips to improve their own art work.
Please have a look at our programme above for further details.
We also organise sketching days and plein air painting days in summer and a summer outing.
Membership of Cranleigh Art & Crafts Society
Now in its 50th year the Society still continues to welcome and encourage those interested in art and crafts, whether experienced or absolute beginners.
To this end all members can exhibit at our Exhibitions, Craft Market, join Outings and informal indoor and outdoor Painting Days.
We hold ten demonstrations each year introducing new artists and techniques as well as hosting returning artists.
Demonstrators booked for this year include Soraya French, Jake Winkle, Melanie Cambridge and Stephen Hawkins.
We are happy for visitors to join us at any of these demonstrations with a £3 donation.
Membership runs from 1st January with half yearly membership at half price from 1st July.
Yearly membership is £23 single and £28 family.
From 1st July half year membership is £10 and £12.50 respectively.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic all events at the Cranleigh Art and Crafts Society have been cancelled for the whole of 2020.
