2 Welcome This Spring we have a programme to stimulate your mind and nurture your talent. Join us to investigate the amazing colour and diversity of art through the ages via activities and events here in Sherborne. We are delighted to welcome art historian Joanna Cobb to ArtsLink in a new season of talks. She will delight you with lively, illustrated talks on two very diverse subjects. Continuing our promotion of local artists through demonstrations and talks, Kate Doig of Firewolf Glass will unravel some of the mysteries of Stained Glass for you. The highlight of the season is our evening lecture by Julian Halsby who will enlighten us with an illustrated lecture on ierre Bonnard and his extraordinary use of colour and imagery. This fundraising partnership event is in aid of both the Arts Society Sherborne and ArtsLink. You can immerse yourself in a weekend pastel painting workshop, learn to design that perfect interior for your home, spend evenings releasing your inner artist, join our weekday courses or the audience at our monthly community film screenings. There is lots to enjoy, we hope you can join us. We look forward to a sharing a creative and culturally rich 2019 with you.
