Intermediate Yoga

Led by Julie Potter

This class is suited to those who have been practising for at least 6. My intention for this class is to move our practise forward, explore different avenues and approaches to the traditional postures. We will be aiming to be going deeper into awareness and noticing.

The yoga I teach is an evolution of over 20 years of practice and study, perhaps moving away from external evaluation of the postures and moving towards an internal sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential approach. Whilst looking at traditional Hatha Yoga postures and pranayamas, I will be encouraging fun and freedom within the traditional structure, whilst taking into our awareness fundamental anatomical and functional aspects required by our bodies for maximum wellbeing benefits.

Please bring a blanket, a Yoga / Pilates mat, and wear loose comfortable clothing.

Pottery Course

Led by Helen D Evans

Come and explore hand building with clay.

This five week course is for people with all abilities, whether you want to come and give Pottery a try or if you have some experience of working with clay. If you are new to clay you will be given the opportunity to try different techniques such as slab building, using press moulds, coiling and sculpting.

Helen will give you suggestions to suit your level of ability / experience and guide you through the process. The skills covered on the course will depend on what you decide to make after an initial discussion. More experienced learners can use the time to work on their own projects.

The intention of this 5 week course is to explore / build on different hand building techniques. At the end of week four, your work will then be bisque fired off-site, ready for glazing in week five. It will then be re-fired and ready to collect from Norden Farm at a later date.

The price includes: clay, use of tools, underglazes, decorating slips, glazes and 2x firing of your work.

Please bring with you:
- Sketchbook for ideas
- Pens / Pencils
- A cloth to wipe your hands on
- An apron
- Any clay tools you may have.
- A plastic bag to store your work

After the course
Helen will notify you and arrange a date regarding the collection of your work which usually takes between 4 - 6 weeks.

Please note that cut-off for booking is on Wed 23 Apr at 7.30pm.

Duck

It’s the summer of 2005, England prepare to win the Ashes and Ismail (Smiley to his friends), a British Indian schoolboy, is about to become the youngest-ever player in his elite public school’s First XI cricket team.

He sets his sights on immortality, breaking the school batting record and getting his name into Wisden. But things are about to heat up.

From award-winning playwright maatin, Duck is about adolescence, the pressures of sporting competition and finding your identity in an environment that doesn’t cater for difference.
