SAA - All About Art

“I just wanted to say that I went to ‘It’s all about Art’ at the weekend and it was excellent. The demonstrations were great and we got lots of advice from the artists and people on the stands.”

Margaret Gatrell – SAA member

“Thanks for organising ‘It’s all about Art’. It really was a great experience seeing the artists in the flesh, rather than on DVD, and being able to chat to them.”

Alex Waddell – SAA member

“We had a really great day on Saturday at the exhibition in Islington; it’s got to have been the best we have been to.”

Janet Smith – SAA member

“The workshops and demonstrations were excellent.”

Ann Cole – SAA member

“Just a little word of congratulations on ‘It’s all about Art’ at Islington. The hourly demonstration programmes were absolutely magnificent, what a splendid idea.”

Brian Thorne – SAA member

“Thanks for such a brilliant day, I thoroughly enjoyed the show.”

Mrs Hullett – SAA member

“The show was a great opportunity to speak to the professional artists and to meet the Paint team and SAA Shop Staff. Also meeting lots of amateur artists and being able to chat about our art together.”

John Band – SAA member

“I thoroughly enjoyed the show last week, lots to see and the demonstrations were truly informative and entertaining, something for everyone.”

Ann Ferguson

“I joined the SAA at ‘It’s all about Art’ – thank you very much for putting on such a marvellous show. I thoroughly enjoyed myself looking round the ‘shop’ and also having a go at one of the demonstrations. I’ve come home fired with enthusiasm!”

Jane Trowbridge – SAA member

“Hello there and many congratulations for your fine exhibition at Islington, our small group really enjoyed the day. I enjoyed the demonstrations and speaking to the demonstrators.”
