The Journal of the Guild of Silk Painters

Silk Painting Events

	The Guild of Silk Painters Annual General Meeting will take place on 24th April 2010 at Beckford Silk Mills near Tewkesbury, quite near the M5 and M4. Please put this date in your diary. Come and have a good day out and have your say in how you want the Guild to go forward. Watch this space for more details. We have not been informed of any other up-coming Silk Painting events! Are there no silk painting branches or individual members who are having exhibitions? Do we have any Guild Branches (it can be more than one) willing to host the next Guild of Silk Painters' Festival?

	Join the Guild today and be part of this silk painting community. For your subscription you will receive four copies of the journal each year and be in contact with hundreds of like-minded people who enjoy painting on silk and textile art generally. There are, as Pat says, branches throughout the UK but not everywhere (yet) and to find out if there is one near where you live please email our Branches Co-ordinator - Sue O'Hea - at branches@silkpainters-guild.co.uk Visit the membership page for details on how to join the Guild.

	This page is available to anyone who has a picture and a silk painting event to publicise, either before or after the event. This could be a new product launch, an exhibition of work, an art or craft show, a shop opening, a book launch, and so on. Please email the information, along with a photo or three to: website@silkpainters-guild.co.uk and we'll try to include it. Please remember that we update this site after the publication of each issue of the journal four times a year so if you want to publicise a forthcoming event you must allow plenty of time.
