The Society of Graphic Fine Art was established in 1919. It exists to promote and exhibit original works of high quality in colour or black or white. This includes both traditional and contemporary media, which includes pencil, pen, watercolour, oils, charcoal, pastel and any of the forms of original printmaking.

A national society based in the UK, the Society of Graphic Fine Art is the only society dedicated to excellence in drawing and draughtsmanship, demonstrated by hand.

The exhibition shows more than 300 works of art selected from hundreds of submissions from around the country and abroad. Prizes are awarded for drawings, prints, artworks in colour, monochrome, and much more.

There will be a variety of demonstrations during the exhibition by some of the society's renowned members.

After a highly successful show in 2025, they return to Mall Galleries from 9 - 14 March 2026 and you won't want to miss it!

Entry is free and all artworks are for sale in the gallery only.

One of our own members, Jackie Devereux, is proud to be part of this exhibition.

Ten Werrington WI members went to see the Shawshank Redemption tonight at the New Theatre. It was a really excellent play, the acting was brilliant and everyone enjoyed it.

To celebrate our 89th birthday we hosted a Taste of Italy evening for our ladies last night with quizzes based on delicious Italian food and drink. We had lots of samples to try and a wonderful birthday cake shown being cut by one of our members, Anna.

We also showed off our new badges and T-shirts to help the committee stand out at meetings, and help volunteers stand out at our many events. Hope you like them!

We're very much looking forward to the next 12 months and celebrating our 90th birthday! 🇮🇹🎂🎈🎉
