Eden Valley
Book Club
Eden Valley has a Book Club! We meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 1.00, in the little hall behind Lillefield Gallery. It’s very random, we don’t have set books, we talk about what we have been reading, swap books etc. Discovering new authors has been one of the best experiences to develop so far. So many books, so little time!!
The cost is $2.00 and we have a Cuppa and a biscuit…very casual and relaxed. New readers very welcome.
Lillefield Gallery - Monthly Creative Art
Come and join us 3rd Sunday of each month in Eden Valley SA at Eden Valley Creative Community Centre.

Art Workshops
Along with our workshops our gallery is open by appointment and definitely worth checking out to see just where you can take the skills you learn from our classes. You can stick to the "easy" things. Although there is so much technique in everything they are still works of art! Or try your hand at sculptures! The only limit is your creativity and bravery - So reach out, book your place, bring a friend and come on down to a workshop! https://www.facebook.com/groups/356292214510144/user/100066592483206
