The York Art Workers' Association is an eclectic group of
craftsmen, artists, conservators, academics and others who share a serious
interest in the arts. Members represent architectural craftsmanship, other
applied arts, all fine arts, architecture and conservation. We welcome not only practitioners in these
fields, whether amateur or professional, but anyone with a keen interest or
appreciation of art and design. We exist
to extend and share our knowledge and experience through a widely varied
programme of monthly talks, normally on the first Monday of the month (doors
open at 7pm, meetings start at 7.30). We also organise occasional courses, workshops, outings and
social events. Our talks are open to anyone.
We meet at Southlands Methodist Church, Bishopthorpe Road, York YO23 1NX. There is parking at the church, on nearby streets and in the local car park by the shops, a few minutes' walk away. There is cycle parking too and it is on a bus route. There is level access and the meeting room is on the ground floor.
Admission: members £3, non members £7.
There is no need to book - please feel free just to turn up!
If you would like to know more about the association, please email info@yorkartworkers.org.uk, or come to the next meeting; we will be very pleased to see you.
A series of short talks from York Art Workers themselves - this evening gives members an opportunity to share their own skills, ideas and passions. Please come along and see what inspires us, or tell us what inspires you! (Open to all, whether a member or not).

"I have been fortunate not to need to make a living from ceramics. For me potting has always been play - an antidote to the stresses of study or work. I enjoy the challenges of making and take pleasure in creating objects people enjoy. I am interested in form, not function, and mostly make small thrown porcelain pots with no purpose other than to please the senses. It still fascinates me that materials, which look so unpromising, can be transformed into objects which bring pleasure."
