covid-19 studio protocol update.

The Committee has discussed our current 'covid' regulations for the studio and decided that, for the safety of our members, models and guests, they will remain in force after the government ends many of the national rules on 19 July. This will be reviewed at each Committee meeting in future.

To confirm:

Please do not go to the studio if you have any symptoms - even a cold - or if you have been in contact with anyone who may have covid. Masks must be worn when arriving at Oriel Chambers and no-one may enter the studio without one. If there are fewer than 7 people in the studio, masks may be removed while drawing/painting at a designated space, but worn again if moving around the studio or going to other parts of Oriel Chambers. If there are more than 7 people in the studio, masks must be worn at all times. Please keep as far from other people in the studio as possible and use hand sanitiser whenever appropriate. All of the the studio windows must be kept fully open for the duration of each class. If you should test 'positive' and have been to the studio, please let us know at liversketchingclub@yahoo.com.

Thanks for your assistance in keeping everyone safe and, hopefully, it won't be long before we can resume our 'normal' activities.

a new club website.

Welcome to the new Liver Sketching Club website -- we hope you like it!

Liver Sketching Club homepage

We have refreshed the look and feel of the site whilst preserving much of the content of the previous one, so you can still view galleries from past exhibitions and events, and find class timetable and other information about the club. You can also still read about our history -- we are 150 next year, and the planning of exhibitions and events to celebrate this is already in full swing.

New to the website is a dedicated Members' Area, where club members can log in and upload work they have done in the club's classes to a live gallery on the site. Members can also create and manage their own artist profile page with a mini gallery, artist statement and contact links.
