Designer donations wanted!

Posted on by

shoppingWith autumn/winter ranges in all the shops (and autumn/winter weather already upon us!), perhaps it’s time to think about freeing up some space in your wardrobe?

Plans are already well under way for the Beaumond House Designer Clothing Sale next spring and your unwanted outfits, shoes, handbags and accessories could help raise money for this local charity.

If you have designer items that no longer fit or you’ve never worn (don’t we all?!), just take them along to Beaumond House on London Road in Newark. Their last Designer Clothing Sale raised a whopping £25,000 for Newark’s Community Hospice – let’s help make the next one a record breaker!

And if you fancy bagging a bargain when the sale comes around, watch this space for details of the date and venue or get in touch with the Fundraising Team on 01636 610556.

paint a sunsetFancy trying your hand at watercolour painting? Whether you’re a absolute beginner and don’t know where to start or you’ve dabbled a bit but want a few hints and tips, RELoved‘s Paint a Sunset workshop could be just what you need…

Learn the basics of watercolour painting step-by-step in an intimate group setting with artist Lynn Norris and take home your very own masterpiece.

From drawing out to mixing the colours and applying the paints, Lynn will take you through each stage of sunset painting in the two-hour session from 7.30pm to 9.30pm on Thursday 25 September.

Places are £20 each and all materials are provided, along with yummy cakes and refreshments too. Just book in advance and turn up for a fun and informative evening, where you’ll learn all the basic techniques of watercolour painting and pick up the kind of valuable advice only an experienced watercolour artist knows.

The workshop takes place on the top floor of RELoved at 53 Stodman Street in Newark. For more details or to book a place, talk to Colleen or Emma next time you’re in town, email newark@relovedboutique.co.uk or give them a call on 01636 918746.
