An Introduction to Silk Painting with Sophie E Tallis
Sat, 01 Jun 2019 10:00
1 June 2019 - 10:00 – 16:00 - £68 (+ approximately £15 for materials payable to the tutor on the day)
An introduction to the most delicate and ancient of art forms – painting on silk.
Different from silk screen printing, silk paintings are one-off original artworks painted on real Habotai and Pongee silk.
During this relaxed and friendly workshop you will be guided through the process of creating your own silk paintings, from the design stage, to stretching the silk, to applying the gutta outliner and applying the silk paints themselves, as well as creating a few special effects!
Using summer flowers as inspiration you will create two flowery silk paintings during the workshop, one suncatcher or wooden framed piece for hanging from a window or wall and another stretched silk painting ready for framing or giving as a gift.
Let your creative juices flow for a relaxing day of flowery silk painting fun!

Kingshill House Outside Theatre - The Comedy of Errors
Sat, 15 Jun 2019 14:30
Outdoor Theatre - A Comedy of Errors - 15 June 2019 - 2:30pm - 5pm
We are delighted to present to you A Downpour Theatre Production of William Shakepseare's A Comedy of Errors.
The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare's shortest yet wittiest play.
Let the cast transport you to the Byzantine Empire. Hilarity ensues when Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio arrive in the hustle and bustle of Ephesus which, unbeknownst to them, is the home of their identical twins, Antipholus and Dromio of Ephesus from whom they were separated in a tragic shipwreck when they were just infants.
Over the course of a single day, mistaken identities lead to unfair beatings, wrongful arrests and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness and even demonic possession.
This gloriously silly but clever farce, performed by a marvelously talented cast, is the perfect way to spend a summer weekend!
