Hayes Green WI members enjoy relaxed art lesson
Hayes Green WI members got creative at their latest meeting, where a retired art teacher led a relaxed drawing lesson in aid of charity
Members of Hayes Green WI enjoyed a creative change of pace when a local artist led a drawing lesson at their latest meeting.
John Gill, a talented local artist and retired secondary school art teacher, was invited along by a member of the group to share his skills at the meeting at the Five Ways Inn in Heath Hayes.
After showing members some of his own drawings and explaining how to use the HB pencils and other materials provided, John soon had everyone engrossed in creating and shading their own abstract patterns.
He kindly took the finished drawings away to mount them together as a collective piece of artwork, which he suggested could be donated to the landlord of the Five Ways Inn to display in the pub.
John refused to accept payment for the lesson, so Hayes Green WI will instead make a donation to Cancer Research in recognition of his generosity.
