Oh brave new world?.

Twelve years have passed since Prospero was overthrown. Now the tempest he has conjured up brings his enemies within reach of his island. With a cast of larger than life characters including a monster, a drunken butler and jester, and a mercurial sprite will his magic be strong enough to bring about the revenge he seeks?

Private View: Friday 15th March, 6pm - 8pm.

Exhibition: Saturday 16th March and Sunday 17th March, 10am - 5pm

Isabel is back, with her first course of the year - bringing her fun, challenging and unique style to this new 3 week course - a must for anyone who wants to give portraiture a go or advance their skills-base with an inspiring tutor!

Experiment with drawing each other portraits, self portraits and group portraits in various media (pencil, pen, ink, watercolour, biro) both monochrome and full colour. The course starts by looking at the proportions of the human face and will encourage participants to draw and paint without fear, having fun, whilst collecting it all in a sketchbook.

A sketchbook and materials provided.  No Experience Necessary!

Compared to other counties in 19th century England, why is there little or no information written about the women of Berkshire?  Who were they, what did they do and where can we find out more about them? Find out in this fascinating talk by professional genealogist, Lin Ricketts.  A talk to tie-in with International Women's Day, which was earlier this month.

Tickets are £5
