 Bewdley Baptist Art Group 

Bewdley Baptist Art Group was started by David Goddard in January 1999.  He started it as a watercolour class to help church folk and friends to improve their landscape painting.  The idea was  to introduce people to the fellowship of the church in an informal and friendly way by enjoying a leisure pursuit together.

Samples of our work can be seen at www.ron.hoggarth.clara.co.uk/gallery.  Please feel free to use this link to see

examples of the artwork produced by members of the group that meet at Bewdley Baptist Church on Thursday evenings (7.30pm for about two hours). Come and join us! We learn from each other as well as from invited visiting artists. Landscapes and flower painting are a speciality but we encourage individual styles within a setting of fun, fellowship, and leisure.

David and Celia Goddard left for South Africa to found a Christian Primary School in the Khayelitsha district of Cape Town in February 2000.  From that time the group has been run by Ron Hoggarth. 
The artistic leadership has been provided by occasional visiting local artists of distinction.  In between times we learn from each other and from our mistakes.

 
The continuing aims of the group are
To improve our landscape and flower painting  and to encourage all styles and subjects.
To support David and Celia's work in South Africa.
In time to broaden the art media that are catered for.  We live in an age when visual images count for a lot.  It is only right we should express our personal vision and faith through the arts.
