About the Society Spalding Arts & Crafts Society was started in 1916 & is one of the oldest societies in the country. In normal times we have a monthly meeting where we have a professional demonstrator. It's a chance to meet like minded people & find out what painting & crafting opportunities there are in the area. We hold several exhibitions a year including at Ayscoughfee Hall, Spalding Library & Springfields Craft Shows. We hope to hold more Painting Together sessions in the future. During lockdown we started a Facebook group for members to keep in touch. We have had various challenges including Inktober & others. Earlier this year Springfields Horticultural Society invited us to take part in a Delft style Tile Painting competition. It was a welcome challenge during the winter lockdown. The tiles are still on display in the Festival Gardens on a large planter near the Summerhouse. Membership of Spalding Arts & Crafts Society is very reasonable, currently £18/year. This entitles you to reduced entry to our meetings and participation in our various exhibitions & challenges.
