Kerry has recently been approached to publish a book, fronted by the famous television presenter and cameraman Simon King OBE. Kerry will be showcasing a whole new collection of 'big cat' oil paintings, pastel paintings and a multitude of sketches etc, whilst raising funds and awareness of their plight.
We often get asked what pastel classes exist in the Leicestershire and Rutland areas from all abilities, not just beginners. Now if you know of, or are running a class please let us know and we can pass the information on. Below are art classes run by our members.

Maggie Price passed away on the morning of 4th April. She had been hospitalised for the past week with pneumonia which was just too much for her to overcome having just finished chemo and radiation treatments.
Liz Haywood-Sullivan has established a perpetual award in Maggie's name to be given at every IAPS exhibition, starting with the Convention. Maggie was all about education and so this award is for an emerging artist. People will be wanting to do something in her memory and so they could donate to help fund this perpetual award. Details are now on the IAPS website at http://www.pastelinternational.com/
