Inspiring Workshops and Creative Sessions
Our workshops take place at Bramcote Memorial Hall on Saturdays between September and June, offering a fantastic opportunity to learn, experiment and be inspired in a friendly and supportive environment.
Throughout the year, we welcome professional tutors who share their expertise, skills and creative approaches across a wide variety of mediums and artistic styles. Whether you want to develop existing skills, try something new or simply enjoy the experience of creating alongside others, our workshops provide encouragement and inspiration for artists of all levels.
Non-members are welcome to join us for a trial workshop (£35) and experience the friendly atmosphere of Spotted Dog Art Group before deciding to become a member.
Members enjoy reduced workshop fees of £30 per tutored session.
Alongside our tutored workshops, we also hold occasional Members’ Days — relaxed, informal sessions where we come together to paint, share ideas, explore new techniques and enjoy the companionship of fellow artists.
Join us to learn, create, connect and experience the joy and wellbeing benefits that art can bring.

17th May 2025 Jenny Mckenzie – Creative Drawing , Composition and Colour
A morning of experimenting through sketching , colour work, composition with different mediums and still life objects. The main medium used were Indian inks, watercolour, wax, collage and oil pastel but our members also bought their own media to explore. In the afternoon we put it altogether to make creative still life pictures. A great day learning and playing with new ideas with the expert guidance of Jenny.
17th March Doreen Hunt Mixed Media surprise
The great thing , one of them, about Doreen is that she brings such creative ideas to experiment with. To begin with we looked at Moira Huntley’s Sewing table painting. This is a watercolour built of layers of paint adding detail and interest. It was quite a challenge and one everyone tackled in their own way. Doreen had provided plenty of haberdashery supplies for us to sketch and patterns to help us generate random lines…. not everyone liked random lines! The afternoon saw a totally different challenge based on the work of Sonia Delaunuy, a 20th Century textile designer
