The judge also chose three other pictures as highly commended, as follows:

Each of these three artists received a sketch book.

The working sessions usually take place in the pottery or the workshop and, with notable exceptions, any member may attend upon payment of the attendance fee, normally 60p. In the past, non-members have been allowed to attend a working session for a limited period (usually 4 weeks) after which they are required to join the Co-operative.
The groups marked *, and some of the pottery groups, are limited in numbers by space restrictions and attendance is by invitation only. Life or portrait groups are usually run over 3 weeks and the attendance fee is increased to cover the costs of the model.
