Friday 28th May, 2.30pm: Painting
Masterclass with Roger Deller PS RI ROI
Haslemere Art Society was founded in 1894 and is
one of the oldest art societies in England.
Haslemere was then a small town which attracted
a surprisingly large number of residents creative in
many fields – architecture, painting, music, writing
and poetry. Today the Society continues to
encourage the arts with talks, demonstrations and
an annual exhibition.
Our President, Roger Dellar, is an internationally acclaimed artist, exhibiting and
teaching in America and Europe. This afternoon he will demonstrate painting a portrait
in oils and his sitter is Christian Ashdown who has been Haslemere’s Town Crier for
eleven years. Please join us for tea (rules allowing) after the demonstration. Haslemere
