In our October meeting the Kibworth Art Lovers were treated to a masterclass in painting with pastels by Uppingham artist and gallery owner, Peter Barker. Peter is a self-taught artist bringing a fresh approach to painting in oils and pastels. As a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, his paintings have won him awards. His works can be seen in his gallery in Oakham which includes works by other UK artists. The gallery is well worth a visit. For more information visit Peter Barker Fine Art Gallery website.

October meeting was a real treat with a visit from Jill and John Vickers from ‘Bridge 67’. Jill gave us a short history of how it all started during Covid. The shop opened in November 2020 and is a very popular venue in Kibworth.

Illston on the Hill WI invited John to speak and demonstrate the hula hooping. This is a talent he famously showcased on ITV’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’!  Hula hooping has an intriguing history. It dates back to the 14^th century when people would use woven branches to create hoops for play and exercise. Today, we’ve come a long way enjoying modern hoops made from lightweight plastic or bamboo that cater to various skill levels and styles.

The Kibworth Art Lovers Society began its 2024/25 season with an entertaining evening led by Lubenham artist, Michael Edwards.
