SUMMARY:Putney Art School: Gwen Spencer exhibition of paintings and drawings
DESCRIPTION:Local Putney painter Gwen Spencer is presenting a collection of her work at the Putney School of Art and Design (PSAD) from 15 April to 3 May.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe retrospective exhibition is for all ages and all generations. Gwen has selected a broad range of her creative output that reflects her achievements over a lifetime as an artist\, including scenes from Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park\, lively sketches of polo matches as well as still life\, figurative and other landscape works.\n\n\n\n\n \nGwen Spencer\nPainting and drawing have been an important part of Gwen Spencer’s life for more than 80 years. In 1971 Gwen was elected a member of the National Society of Painters\, Sculptors and Printmakers and was Secretary of the Society from 1987 until 2012. Gwen has regularly exhibited small collections of her work in London and the Home Counties and has sold over 100 paintings and drawings to art collectors all over the world. Now\, at the age of 96\, she has decided to share a selection of her paintings and drawings\, many of which have never been seen in public before. She has worked in a variety of media including oil\, pastel\, charcoal and collage. \nGwen Spencer was born in Argentina in 1927\, the daughter of British parents. She grew up partly in Jersey and mainly in Hurlingham\, a suburb of Buenos Aires. She married Chris in 1952 and moved to the UK where they settled in Wimbledon. Gwen had studied drawing and painting at the Atelier Josse in Buenos Aires but settling into a new life on a different continent\, and the arrival of three children\, put art temporarily on hold. By 1964 she was able to start attending morning classes at the Putney School of Art and Design. This soon transitioned to all day and continued to 1981 when Gwen and a group of friends from Putney organised a painting group that met regularly for more than 20 years. Gwen has three children\, seven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Arts Society lecture: The Stained Glass Windows of William Morris and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Picture: Caritas in Red stained glass window by Edward Burne-Jones. Pic: Rex Harris (c) \nThis lecture will look at the Pre-Raphaelite revival in stained glass windows pioneered by William Morris and his associates. It has been organised by The Arts Society South West London and the lecturer will be Dr Geri Parlby. \nAt the height of the great Gothic revival in church architecture during the 19th century stained glass windows enjoyed a renaissance. Already famous for their innovative designs\, William Morris\, Edward Burne Jones\, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ford Madox-Brown were responsible for some of the most beautiful stained glass windows of the 19th and 20th centuries. \nThis lecture will look at the history of how ‘The Firm’ brought church windows to life with their new vibrant colours and sensuous designs. The languid faces of the saints and holy family often modelled on real life portraits of their friends and lovers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-members of The Arts Society are welcome but are encouraged to make a donation to the Society at the door. Any contribution will be deducted from their subscription if they then decide to join. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Geri Parlby\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeri is a former Fleet Street journalist and film PR. She has a first-class honours degree in History and Theology\, a Masters in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute and a Theology doctorate from Roehampton University in London. She has been lecturing for the past 14 years both in the UK and internationally. She is also principal lecturer on The Arts Society South West Area’s History of Art course and is an Honorary Research Fellow at Roehampton University.

Other gamers may bring another selection of games\, so be prepared to be surprised on the day. \nAttendee numbers are dependent on who can bring and/or teach games and so can vary week to week.\nIf you have a game(s) that you are willing to teach on the night please do mention this in the chat and/or comments.\nMost of us are up for anything! \nHere are more details specifically about the Putney events: \nWe’re a friendly\, social group that regularly play a range of board games and card games. This event has been running since June 2022 and we have a core group of regular gamers but welcome new members who are looking for a games group to play on a regular or fairly regular basis.\nGames we play range from\, 30min – 1hour games\, to the heavier 2-3hour games. We alternate the weeks we play shorter games versus the longer strategy games (check the event title for which type of games are being played). \nQuicker\, fun\, social games we play:\n• Just One\nhttps://youtu.be/0DDRxztfJP0?si=QPavmMFE3DFipM-x\n• Skull King\nhttps://youtu.be/xlFHfCqY-5Y?si=X-U1WLP5JOI0oTcB\n• Planted\nhttps://youtu.be/BB5mwXFPrUA?si=oLor8WTSpLUs7B12\n• Project L\nhttps://youtu.be/EFV-qavWUlE?si=41_XhoZQvWs_9Zp2\n• 7 Wonders\nhttps://youtu.be/z_Wfdn5Es8U?si=-L3cLo2Uppdip2ow \nLonger\, Strategy games we play:\n• Lost Ruins of Arnak\nhttps://youtu.be/Kg2z4ApABY8?si=l46LNYRjQA_0QoZS\n• Terraforming Mars\nhttps://youtu.be/n3yVpsiVwL8?si=SW7VCdJpnqErKlIO \nWe like to start on time but if you do arrive late\, don’t worry\, it may mean you have to wait a bit until the next game starts\, but we always try to accommodate where we can. If it’s Strategy games night\, it is more important that we start on time as the games are longer and we want to finish on time.\nIf you know you are going to be late please just let us know your eta. \nThe event is free but please keep in mind that in order to have the space and run the event on a regular basis we need to purchase drinks/food from the venue. \nAlso\, please don’t sign up and not show up. Not only do you take up a spot for someone keen to play games\, but we have limited space that we need to reserve with the venue and no-shows jeopardise our relationship with the venue. Thanks for your understanding.\nHope to see you at a games table!!
