We love having the Stoke-on-Trent branch of the Urban Sketchers get together in support of the Cheadle Arts Festival and were pleased to hear that some new faces turned up to swell their ranks. They are a very supportive group and all levels of experience and ability are warmly welcomed. We were very grateful for their lovely feedback:
Regular Urban Sketcher John commented, "Really enjoyed this morning's outing to St Giles' Church in Cheadle. A stunning location - almost overwhelmed by the detail in the building."
Jackie enjoyed the performance by Cheadle Choral Society and Licorice & Legato and emailed us to say "It was a very enjoyable show in beautiful surroundings, thank you for the invite!"
Kirsty tagged us on Facebook to say "What a great start to the Cheadle Arts Festival! I have lived here for nearly 10 years and I was yet to set foot in Pugin's Gem, St Giles Church until today and it truly is a beautiful building. I wish I had stuck around to take some better photos but I will visit again at some point. So to kick start the festival I took my eldest to the Urban Sketchers event. We began inside the church and spent some time sketching whilst listening to the performance by the choir. This was definitely an enjoyable and memorable experience. Honestly I could have stayed there for a couple more hours. Really enjoyable! Thanks to those that arranged this meet up, great idea."
