What’s on where…

In the Cafe Gallery

An Exhibition by the Pleasurable Painting Group

This exhibition runs from :-

Wednesday 17th September until Saturday 15th November 2025

The Pleasurable Painting Group was formed in 2016 and was led by Mags Bradley.

As the name suggests the group consists mainly of local amateurs who get together purely for the pleasure of painting. 

In the beginning, they met at the Caistor Arts and Heritage Centre, but their numbers increased so much, that they later had to move to a larger venue. They now meet at the Town Hall.   

Mags recently stepped down from her leading role having done sterling work for several years. After she left, the group continued to meet on Tuesday mornings for blocks of 5 weekly sessions at a time. The members bring their own ideas to the sessions and they have developed their individual styles and approaches.

Most people work in watercolour, but from time to time, they may also use acrylics, oils or pastels, Experimentation with different media is part of the fun!

They support each other with feedback and helpful suggestions. It is interesting to hear someone else’s opinions of our work.

Wool in the Wolds Exhibition

by Lamorna Thomas

This exhibition runs from:-

Friday 19th September until Saturday 15th November 2025

Lamorna Thomas used to work as a Garden Designer in South Cambridgeshire but has now retired to create her own third of an acre garden near Market Rasen. She took up wet felting wool about ten years ago to expand her artistic flair into a different medium and is a member of the not-for-profit International Feltmakers Association, established to promote felt in all its forms. Her handmade fibre works include practical and artistic felted pieces for the home, to complement interiors, that are both beautiful and functional. She meticulously researches the design process for each crafted item, keeping sketchbooks, and draws on the natural world and other artists for inspiration. Having quickly mastered flat, corded and 'Nuno' felting techniques using Merino wool and British breeds of wool, she moved onto resist projects to produce useful and creative 3D items, incorporating various upcycled fabrics, such as sari silks, organic materials, like nettle fibre and fern fronds. Lamorna’s passion is to teach people the wonderful craft of wet felting and holds many workshops, both locally, and at some of the Wool Shows put on up and down the country.

This will be her first solo exhibition
