Friday, 18 September 2026

09:30-12:30

The Lawrence Society invites members to a delightful plein air painting event, then lunch, at the canal at All Cannings in Wiltshire. This fertile valley offers a tranquil escape, where kestrels soar over open downs, and the banks of the Kennet and Avon Canal bloom with flag irises and other native flora.

Join us on 18th September for a unique opportunity to capture the serene beauty of the canal and barges from on and around a charming bridge in All Cannings. This plein air painting event runs from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, offering a peaceful setting amid rich farmland and stunning views of the Pewsey Downs.

Everyone is welcome, and non-members can attend for a £5 donation to the art society. Please let us know if you plan to attend, including lunch.

Directions

The event will take place around the canal bridge in All Cannings.

Parking is available for about six vehicles directly near the bridge, with additional options just five minutes away at the nearby road bridge.
The nearest postcode to the bridge where we will meet is SN10 3NX.
The Kings Arms postcode is SN10 3PA.

Join us for this artistic adventure and experience the timeless beauty of the English countryside.

Demo held: Monday, 03 August, 2026 From the start, it was clear that this demonstration would be something different. There was no easel in sight, nor a neatly arranged set of paints; instead, two tables were full of various exciting items, some of which you might expect to find in your waste bin. This was a demonstration by Rowde-based artist Hannah Cantellow on collagraph printing for Lawrence Art Society members in Devizes.
