"Pastel Without Boundaries"
The theme of this year’s Pastel Society Exhibition is ‘Pastel Without Boundaries’. The title reflects the enthusiasm we have as a Society for our chosen medium.
We wish to spread the word about our medium to all age groups. Where else would you find around 1600 colours, as are available in soft pastel, ready to use straight away? Some of the qualities of our medium will be demonstrated by our members in our East Gallery ‘Studio’. This is a repeat of last year’s successful experiment and will consist of a continuous series of demonstrations and hands-on workshops for the whole length of the exhibition.
