Sketching Day in Llanarmon D.C. to mark the first weekend of the North Wales Helfa Gelf/Art Trail – Saturday, Sept. 8th, 11am
Here’s an upcoming date for your calendars: It’s going to be the first weekend of the Helfa Gelf/Art Trail across North Wales starting Friday, Sept. 7th. Inside Out artists Diana Baur and Rosie Davies, together with Rob Davies, are going to be exhibiting as the Tithebarn Studio Group in the Tithebarn Studio in the middle of Llanarmon D.C.
We thought this would be a good opportunity to schedule an Inside Out Sketching Day in Llanarmon D.C. on Saturday, Sept. 8th. We’ll meet up at the Tithebarn Studio at 11am, and base ourselves in and around the village, the church and the river. If the weather’s fine, John has offered to lead a Sketching Walk to some nearby hillside locations. In the afternoon we’ll break for tea at The Hand Hotel.
The weather should be fine, but if not, there’s plenty of cover to draw, paint and photograph from. If anyone needs directions or more information, get in touch – otherwise, we look forward to seeing you in Llanarmon!

Oh sounds idyllic!!! But…………….. I have an HELFA GELF OPEN STUDIO THAT DAY !!!
You always seem to draw the short straw for sketching days, don’t you, June? First Ruthin, now this. I tell you what: YOU pick the date and venue for our October sketching day!
Looking forward to this!! I’ll be in the Tithebarn studio opposite The Hand, with my work and Rosies and Rob’s, and Heulwen plans to come along for the day.
Excellent! I’ll be around all weekend, too – whether leading a sketching walk or not. I had three potential walks planned: an easy/short one up to the abandoned barn below Ty Coch (good views across the valley; the barn itself; 20 mins walking) – then possibly into the woods beyond; a moderately difficult/longer one up the Llanrhaeadr road behind Hazel’s Cottage and then to the ruined farm opposite (45 mins walking); and then a longer/more difficult one up Heartbreak Hill then across the moors and down via Hafod Adams (1 1/2 hrs + stopping/sketching time). This all depends on what people would like to do and what the weather is like. We could even combine walks 1 + 3 by going up to the Ty Coch barn with a bigger group, leaving some people there and the rest walking over and across the river, up via Hafod Adams and onto the moors and then down via Heartbreak Hill. We’d certainly have earned a pint in The Hand by then!
