PACS has a full programme of events throughout the year. Please click on the menu items below to see more information. In addition we have an annual exhibition in August for all media, and our potters hold a separate exhibition in November (both in Petersfield). Members who join before the end of May in any given membership year are eligible to participate.
We also have a mailing list where members can opt in to receive emails about events that other members are participating in. You can opt in by updating your record in our membership system. Click here to access the system and tick the box for receipt of emails about Local arts and crafts news.
The workshop programme is organised by Alan Horgan. As you can see from the programme shown here, we have 10 workshops arranged for this year. (We don’t generally hold them in December or peak summer and timing of Easter can have a bearing).
Workshops are held on Saturdays at the Triangle Centre in Liss, and run from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Attendees are advised to bring refreshments and a packed lunch, as although there is a cafe on site, it is not generally open on a Saturday.
Workshops are advertised on this website well in advance. Members will be emailed (using the email address held by the membership secretary) when the booking facility is opening. Bookings will also be open to the general public shortly afterwards, so getting on-line promptly to book is advised.
Fees for workshops are :-
Adult Member
£50.00
Junior Member
£25.00
Adult Non Member
£75.00
Junior Non Member
£37.50
Payment is via Paypal, using your PayPal account or you can use most debit or credit cards.
There may also be charges for materials provided by the tutor on the day, and attendees will be provided with details of materials to bring along.

Alan would welcome any ideas for future workshops or if you would be able to run a workshop then please get in touch with Alan on the email address below.
The demonstration programme is organised by Louise Turpin.
Demonstrations usually take place on the last Thursday evening of the month and are generally held at the Herne Leisure Centre, Moggs Mead, Petersfield. Entry to the events is free for members (unless otherwise stated in the promotion literature) and guests are welcome for a token fee of £5, payable on the night.
We have audio/visual equipment to amplify the speakers voice and give closeup’s of their work on a display screen.
On-line events are hosted using the Zoom platform and the link is generally available for a few days after the live broadcast for the benefit of those who can’t make it on the night. To participate in such events you will need the Zoom software installed on your device, and your device must have sound capability. A user guide for Zoom events can be found here.
Louise and a team of volunteers host the events and at the live events, provide refreshments for a small fee. If you would like to volunteer to assist with providing refreshments or helping with setting up and clearing the venue please get in touch with Louise using the email address below or visit your page in our membership system and tick the Teas Volunteer box. Click here to access the membership system.
If you have ideas for demonstrations you would like to see, or if you would be able to run a demonstration then please let Louise know.

George Spear has been giving life drawing classes for PACS for several years. These take place on occasional Saturdays from 10am-1pm at the Liss Triangle Centre with a short break half way.
George is a local artist living in Petersfield. He loves watercolour and printing. He is a member of Ochre Print Studio and was Chair of Petersfield Arts and Crafts Society for three years. He has been organising workshops and life drawing classes since 2009 and teaching life drawing for 10 years. Many of his students have returned year on year. It gives George great pleasure to see artists succeed, progress and share their enjoyment in a discipline that he gets so much out of himself, and he hopes that you will too.
There are 8 places available per session. Advance booking is essential.
Bookings must be made through George, who can be contacted using his email address.
Please use the same contact details if you have any queries.
The sketch-out programme is organised by Maria Yadegar and Louise Turpin. The aim is to find interesting locations in the membership catchment area where groups of members can gather and create whilst enjoying a bit of social interaction too. Sketch-out days are usually a morning or afternoon and run from late spring to early autumn. Members need to make their own way to the venues, some of which are remote so taking your own refreshments is advised. Information on exact location, parking and nearest toilet facilities will be provided nearer the time.
Sketch-out days are exclusive to members and participation is free.
We are always on the lookout for venues. If you can provide or recommend a location, please contact either
