We are so excited to welcome textile artist and Southwold local Marian May this November 12th for a Botanical Printing workshop.

Marian will guide you through the entire process of creating your own tote bag (other fabrics will also be available, additionally) using foraged, seasonal leaves and flowers. Marian will talk us through the often surprising dying snd printing results that come from leaves and even foods that we commonly find around us.

This workshop will run from 9.30am to 2pm with a break for lunch.

Lunch is not included but we will provide refreshments including hot drinks throughout the day.

Hot on the heels of Timeless at The Craft House in Woodbridge comes my new exhibition, this time for a whole month!

Old and New Traces

Bell Gallery, 40 Earsham St, Bungay NR35 1AQ

I’ll be displaying a number of new works which I’ve created for the show, and I’m also very pleased to be sharing the space again with fellow artist Ros Bieber, who will be exhibiting more from her popular series of animal paintings.

Old and New Traces is open 10am – 4.30pm, Tuesday – Saturday (closed Sunday – Monday).

If you’re coming by train, go to Beccles and take a short bus ride; if you’re driving, there’s plenty of public parking behind the gallery in Scales Street car park (NR35 1EA).

Pakefield Singers

Haydn – Beauty and Drama

Pakefield Singers present a special evening of choral treats.
Popular Pakefield Singers are next performing in St Margaret’s Church, Lowestoft at 7.30pm on Saturday 28th October. They are excited to be able to have their powerful sound combine with the Pakefield Players-led by Jim O’Toole. Vetta Wise will conduct.
On the programme are two iconic works by Joseph Haydn: his sweet and lyrical Missa Brevis in F, also known as the “Jugendmesse” (Youth Mass), written in his own youth: and also, his powerful and dramatic Nelson Mass, a mature product of the flowering of his great compositional gifts.
The programme also includes Monteverdi’s magical and well-loved setting of Psalm 112, Beatus Vir, sung by chamber group the Aurora Consort.
Spend an evening in the serene setting of St Margaret’s, surrounded by the beautiful sounds of instruments and voices …
Tickets – £15 (accompanied age 16 and under free)

Ruth McCabe

By

The George Farnham Gallery is hosting a solo show for Ruth McCabe’s work, between 3 and 21 October. This Saxmundham Gallery has recently been awarded 2023 winner for Best Independent Gallery in Suffolk, and Ruth is delighted that Gary and Michael will be curating and showcasing her work for ’Shore Lines’.
The exhibition will feature a selection of oils, watercolours and collage inspired by Ruth’s love of this edgy, vulnerable east coast, and of sea swimming through the year.
Undergraduate years in Botany and Zoology informed her about the importance of natural sea defences such as saltmarsh, and some of the work in the show celebrates these habitats and the role they play: so important now we have rising sea levels and climate change generating more frequent and powerful storm surges.
On the more playful side, Ruth has made a series of small, perfectly priced collaged pieces inspired by her experience of sea swimming as part of the brilliant group of human beings that is ’Sole Bay Swimmers.’ The latest of these collages is called ‘Hurry up Les’ and is shown here.
