This is my very first! I discovered it was my<br>job as we were packing up. When arriving home I sort out Linda&#8217;s previous reports<br>only to find I was without all the information necessary to report on. I have,<br>therefore been bombarding, by text, the other members of the exhibition team for<br>the data I needed for this report. I only hope I can attain the high standards of my<br>predecessor.<br>Thank you to the 14 artist&#8217;s who submitted their work to this years SDAG<br>exhibition at the NSA. This is an unusually low number and may be down to the<br>August holidays and Nana &amp; Grandad duties. 43 works were submitted which<br>meant the gallery walls were sparsely adorned. A big thank you therefore to<br>Sandra and Janet who came to the rescue with an overnight valiant effort to<br>supply the exhibition team with more works to display.<br>A big thank you also to Pam Earlam, Sandra Everatt, Ju Smith (that&#8217;s me thanking<br>myself!!), the other members of the exhibition hanging team, for their work in<br>making sure the exhibition went to plan. Maureen Scott, our Chairperson, also put<br>in a substantial shift in setting up and we must not forget the wonderful volunteer<br>stewards without whom no doors would have been opened and no sales would<br>have been made. Here&#8217;s hoping stewards enjoyed their experience and are willing<br>to do it again. An acknowledgement is also absolutely necessary to the bill paying<br>work of our treasurer Richard Eddleston and publicity by Janet and Pam Glover.<br>Congratulations to all involved.<br>We had a total of 290 visitors though the door and some of them even parted with<br>their money! We sold 3 paintings, 8 works from the browser and lots of cards. The<br>3 paintings sold were purchased by a young couple, I think, to adorn a wall<br>together because although very different in subject matter they all had orange as a<br>principle colour. I think they will look wonderful together.<br>As in previous years we had a Visitors Choice competition and interestingly for the<br>first time the Visitors Choice and the Judges Choice were aligned.<br>We had asked Rita Mitchell, one of our favourite workshop tutors, to be this years<br>judge but sadly she was poorly and we had to find a new judge at short notice.<br>Paul Searson an accomplished artist and very active members of the NSA kindly<br>stepped in.<br>Congratulations Andrew Craig for being the Visitors and the Judges Choice with a<br>delightful little watercolour called &#8216;In the Light&#8217;. The winning visitor, drawn out of<br>the hat, was Monica Bryce from Bulwell. Both Andrew and Monica will receive a<br>\u00a320 gift voucher.<br>Further congratulations go to those artists&#8217; who&#8217;s works were Highly Commended;<br>they were by Rebecca Hock &#8216;My Grandmothers Spirit&#8217;, Pam Earlam<br>&#8216;Stanage Edge&#8217; and Janet Waters &#8216;Baobab Tree&#8217;.<br>Having perused comments in the Visitor&#8217;s Book two caught my eye.<br>This charming one from Toni and Tito (a chihuahua) who wrote &#8216;Stumbled across<br>this with my dog! We both loved it! Thank you&#8217;. Apt I thought but Tito had no<br>spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D. Eustace wrote &#8216; Wonderful pieces &#8211; Loved the boxes &#8211; great idea &#8211; Wonderful<br>Inspiration. Thank you&#8217;. D. Eustace was a visitor from Holland so we can now claim<br>international fame.<br>If you didn&#8217;t get chance to see the exhibition the boxes referred to were 11 three<br>dimensional collages summitted by SDAG members who attended my workshop<br>last February. Some of these works were submitted by members who had never<br>exhibited before. The works filled the central space and added further interest to<br>the exhibition. Thank you to all those who could take part.<br>Finally if you would like to see Andrew&#8217;s winning watercolour it is on the poster,<br>designed by Janet, for our exhibition next month at Beeston library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ju Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-divider stk-block-divider stk-block stk-dc05e22\" data-block-id=\"dc05e22\"><hr class=\"stk-block-divider__hr\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-7c831be\" data-block-id=\"7c831be\"><style>.stk-7c831be{height:50px !important}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-7c831be{height:20px !important}}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-3affcba\" id=\"past-workshops\" data-block-id=\"3affcba\"><style>.stk-3affcba .stk-block-heading__text{font-weight:600 !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-align-center\">Past Workshops<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-feature stk-block-feature stk-block stk-1e1c9f6 is-style-default\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"1e1c9f6\"><div class=\"stk-content-align stk-1e1c9f6-column stk-container stk-1e1c9f6-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-row\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-e1a2dd4\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"e1a2dd4\"><style>.stk-e1a2dd4{align-self:center !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-e1a2dd4-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-e1a2dd4-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-3fd08d9\" id=\"members-day\" data-block-id=\"3fd08d9\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Member&#8217;s Day<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday 17th January 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members day.

A great day learning and playing with new ideas with the expert guidance of Jenny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"446\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-3.jpg 446w, https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-3-209x300.jpg 209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-4d77522\" data-block-id=\"4d77522\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-4d77522-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-8e482cc\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"8e482cc\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:768px){.stk-8e482cc{flex:1 1 25% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-8e482cc-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-8e482cc-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-4-1.jpg 432w, https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-4-1-203x300.jpg 203w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ce26aa0\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ce26aa0\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:768px){.stk-ce26aa0{flex:1 1 50% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ce26aa0-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ce26aa0-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"458\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-5.jpg 458w, https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-5-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-9ee6bb3\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"9ee6bb3\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:768px){.stk-9ee6bb3{flex:1 1 25% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-9ee6bb3-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-9ee6bb3-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"458\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-5-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-5-1.jpg 458w, https:\/\/spotteddogartgroup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-5-1-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-8391e19\" data-block-id=\"8391e19\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-8391e19-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-6a7aaa2\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"6a7aaa2\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:768px){.stk-6a7aaa2{flex:1 1 calc(55.1% - var(--stk-column-gap,0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-6a7aaa2-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-6a7aaa2-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-ba75e99\" data-block-id=\"ba75e99\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-ba75e99{height:20px !important}}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17th March   Doreen Hunt<\/strong> Mixed Media surprise<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8230;. not everyone liked random lines!  The afternoon saw a totally different challenge based on the work of Sonia Delaunuy, a 20th Century textile designer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding
