So we head back to IKEA in Bletchley on Monday after a half term break. Then we are at Out Of Office Coffee in Milton Keynes on Tuesday evening, followed by Brewpoint Weekly Art Club on Wednesday morning. Wednesday evening sees us at The White Hart Sherington and we quickly head back there on Thursday morning for our weekly Art at the Hart session

We'll be painting the very seasonal and chilly "Silver Birches" on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and there are more Silver Birches along with Deer when we paint "Into the Woods" at the Sip & Paint evenings.
