Every beautiful painting made by our members deserves a nice frame. And what could be better with a homemade painting than a homemade frame. It really finishes off the work. So our activities committee is organising a " making a floating frame " workshop.

You can register by e-mail via: info@potloodenpenseel.nl or the registration list in the studio. Registration is final once the costs have been paid. These can be transferred to account number: NL34 INGB 0005 2488 54 in the name of: Met Potlood en Penseel

On the weekend of January 27 and 28, "met Potlood en Penseel" organized its annual exhibition. During this weekend the works of our members on display. Months in advance is our activities committee is already busy with this. Which works are exhibited, from whom is which painting, what is the name of the painting, all this information is collected and written on small cards so that the next to the works can come to hang. Volunteers have to be found, hostesses who will speak to visitors, flyers made and distributed, but also: who will open the exhibition? People are also needed to place the partitions, it is a huge job every year. But don't forget the refreshments, the coffee and tea also these have to be purchased so that every guest has a nice cookie with their coffee or tea. When the weekend arrives, work begins on Friday to prepare the partitions, set up the rooms, prepare the works of art for each group and provide them with "name tags." Finally, on Saturday morning, the last partitions were put in place and the paintings could be hung so that they could be displayed to their best advantage. The log was placed in the most favorable spot and at 2 p.m. the exhibition could then be officially opened. Also this year Coen van Ham was present and he noted that the quality of the works shown, this year was even higher than last year. On Saturday we had 147 registered visitors and on Sunday there were 144. We should as an association be proud of what we have organized, of course with thanks to the volunteers and our fantastic activities committee. Would you like to see the pictures? Then click here..
