Art, Design & Architecture

For all those interested in discussion of, and visits to see, items related to Art, Design & Architecture.

For example we have visited Cambridge on a 'Sculpture Trail' reviewing the many fine examples throughout the City, we have attended a stained glass workshop to gain a better understanding of the craft. Similar events are arranged throughout the year.

For latest information on our events see the 'Events' panel on the main page or the current Newsletter. Also get in touch with our Group Contact,

We have had an offer from Mr Williamson, who lives in Harpenden, to run a Mosaic Art class for LALG members at his home. This would be a one-off event. There would be a small charge. Please leave names at David's Bookshop to test interest.

Beaufort Court

A very thought provoking evening was enjoyed by the group who visited the wind turbine site on 10 August. A reserve list has already formed for next year as I have been assured we will be able to take at least one coach full. As soon as details are confirmed you will be invited to add your names.

What we're planning

This month I will be contacting all those people who expressed an interest in the Glasgow trip to arrange a get-together to discuss the trip in more detail.

Sculpture Walk, South Cambridge
In the autumn there was a Sculpture Walk around the centre of Cambridge. We plan to do a second one in South Cambridge, starting at the railway station. The walk will take about two hours and may take you to areas of Cambridge that you would not normally visit. Numbers will be limited to 14.

We plan to go in March. Please leave your name and contact details at David's Bookshop to show your interest, or contact William Armitage (01462 643537).

Detailed information will be in the next Newsletter.
