A talk by Joe Nickols

10:30 - 11:30 

Joe will discuss the importance of integrating arts and culture into society to aid mental health and build confidence in individuals. Joe is an art historian, writer and curator at the British Museum in the Japan section. Prior to this, Joe was developing an exhibition project and outreach programme about the soothing power of art in an age dominated by anxiety. Joe collaborated with artists who explore experiences of anxiety, therapy, and community to highlight the diverse responses to external stressors.

Joe is speaking as a guest of the Charlie Waller Trust and his talk will be based on his own personal and professional experience in the arts.

A drawing lesson with Bridget Tempest

10:30 - 11:30

Bridget uses a variety of printmaking techniques which enable the viewer to enter an elusive and interior world of nature.  Drawing is the most important factor in her work. Paying attention to Nature’s forms and relationships creates a close connection to the environment and finding that rhythm and harmony through the drawing,  we are enriched.

Bridget will talk about her process and support participants as they make their own drawings. Any level of experience is fine! £50 per person to attend.
Only 8 spaces available, please use this link to secure your place.

Both events kindly organised by Lulu Lytle
