Bramshott & Liphook Art & Crafts Society 

Bramshott & Liphook Art & Crafts Society regularly run events and meetings which are open to visitors.

Celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2007, the Bramshott & Liphook Arts & Crafts Society encourages an interest in arts & crafts within the community. With almost 300 members, there are ample opportunities to share ideas, interests and techniques, to experiment in different media and forms, and to attend talks and presentations by experts and guest speakers.

We cover the Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex borders and have guest speakers from this region as well as members & visitors. Members include practising artists and artisans, amateurs of all abilities, and those who are simply interested in anything to do with arts & crafts.

Our members relish our friendly, social atmosphere and the chance to develop their knowledge and skills at monthly meetings and Saturday workshops. Our Annual Exhibition is a wonderful opportunity for members to showcase their work within the neighbourhood and is the highlight of the Society’s calendar.

For enquiries about meetings or membership, please call Sue Rawlings, BLACS Chairwoman.
