The Voice Project

By

Women’s Voices with Sian Croose
Popular day workshops, in Norwich, designed to explore a range of
music written for women’s voices, and look at ways in which we can
increase our singing confidence and make a fantastic sound together.
Three separate day workshops Saturdays 1 April, 29 April and 17 June, 11am to 3.30pm. Book for one, two or all three days.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced singer, or anything in
between, these harmony filled workshops are accessible, uplifting and fun.
As well as learning great songs, each workshop will look at how your voice works and how to get the most from it, and give you the opportunity to experiment with your range.
Sian has worked alongside a whole range of amazing composers and performers and will draw on her experience to share a selection of traditional and contemporary music, including songs from the USA, the Republic of Georgia and the UK.

Merlina Arts

By

Four established creatives from across Suffolk have come together for this exhibition, which is showing at Merlina Arts, Earsham Mill from Thursday 30 March, ending on Easter Monday 10 April.

Hilary Garner and Norma Read, known as Garner+Read, have exhibited together a number of times around East Anglia, and are delighted to be joined by esteemed artists Ruth McCabe and Diana Capstick.

Garner+Read are well-known for their oil paintings of still life, landscapes, people and animals, and their distinctive use of colour and texture.

Ruth McCabe paints in watercolour, acrylic, oils and collage. Her watercolour work is innovative and abstract in style, capturing the beauty of the Suffolk landscape.

Diana Capstick is a neurodiverse artist whose work includes sculpture, drawing and painting. Her interest is often piqued by current affairs and some of her paintings contain hidden messages; her other work is inspired by the natural world.
