We are open every Wednesday (except the last Wednesday of each month) from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.
Talks and demos can be cancelled or changed at short notice – even on the day. If a demonstrator cancels at the last minute, the evening will revert to a ‘do your own thing’ workshop.
Fair Oak Art and Craft Society was founded in 1979. We are a group of artists and crafters of varying ability from beginner to the more accomplished and welcome new members and guests at any time. Throughout the year we have a programme of talks, demonstrations and ‘have a go’ workshops on a variety of topics.
Members have the opportunity to exhibit work at the Spring and Autumn Exhibitions which takes place in April and November respectively. You can attend every week or as and when you like – visitors are always welcome.

Where: Village Hall, Shorts Road, Fair Oak, Eastleigh, SO50 7EJ
We aim to have a number of interesting art and craft talks and demonstrations during the year. On the other evenings we have workshops where you bring along your own project to work on. The last Wednesday of the month from May to Sept is, weather permitting, a painting/sketching day out. The venues are arranged a week or two beforehand.
The doors open at 7pm and demonstrations/workshops start at 7.30pm. There will be a break after about an hour for tea/coffee and a biscuit and a chance to chat and look at the progress of the demonstration.
Workshop evenings, unless specified otherwise, involve everyone doing their own thing. Bring along your latest project and use this as an opportunity to get advice from fellow members and to talk to like minded people. In addition to these meetings members may be running workshops when a small fee (typically £1 – £5) for materials may apply.
During August we run a series of workshops, starting at 7pm, which may need to be pre-booked and paid for. These workshops typically end with you having a piece of art or craft to take home and are a wonderful opportunity to try something new or to brush up your skills and techniques. Non-members are welcome to join these workshops. Please check the rates for guests when asking for details.
