Salcombe Art Club (SAC) is based in what was previously a sail loft in the centre of Salcombe. SAC was established in the 1960 by a group of local artists and has since grown into a dynamic and vibrant club of nearly 200 members. The Club runs an exciting and diverse arts programme throughout the winter months.
The Club attracts experienced tutors to provide courses suitable to all levels of experience from beginner’s wishing to try out drawing, print making or painting, to courses run with experienced and professional artists in mind. We offer one day stand-alone courses; weekend workshops lead by a tutor, to courses spanning a day a week from four to six weeks. These start on 24th February. The loft (accessed via one flight of stairs) is a well-lit, spacious warm space with excellent facilities for making art.
The Spring programme offers a diverse and exciting range of classes: ‘Travelling Sketchbook’ course on keeping and developing a sketchbook, takes place on Thursdays for four weeks. There are a variety of oil painting days and weekly courses suitable for a wide range of experience, a three-day wood block printing course, a weekend of mixed media and mark making and a four-week course on Mondays on developing your painting using a wide range of source materials such as sketches and photos.
