The Blakenall Village Centre is hosting its first 'group show' with three artists from the Wyrley Artists Group, who first met at the Great Wyrley Art Club. Ann Hackett said "We met at the art club some years ago and wanted to show our work, so we decided to band together to exhibit our paintings and craftwork. The artists will exhibit paintings in watercolour, acrylics, oils and mixed media. Brenda Jenkins After raising her family Brenda found she had more time to pursue her own interests, which included art. For four years she attended Cannock College as a mature student, studying various art courses. She left college with an A Level in Fine Art. She is a founder member of Great Wyrley Art Club and is now running her own teaching groups. Brenda paints in watercolour, acrylic and oil and welcomes portrait commissions from good photographs.
