Tickets
Mar 16 @ 10:30 am – 4:00 pm
Hand Drums & Percussion - A Full Day Course with Rick Wilson @ Hermon Chapel Arts Centre | England | United Kingdom

Hand Drums & Percussion – A Full Day Course with Rick Wilson

GIFT VOUCHERS: For this event gift vouchers are available. Please contact us on 01691 662196 for more information on this offer.

This day is a wonderful opportunity for newcomers as well as seasoned hand drum and percussion enthusiasts of all ages to work intensively on developing their understanding of rhythm and exercise their manual dexterity under the guidance of professional drummer and percussionist Rick Wilson.

Rick is an experienced tutor of many years, drawing from his extensive repertoire of Indian, African and South American rhythms, which he makes accessible in astonishingly creative ways whilst providing a joyful and focused learning experience.

The workshop is designed around aspects of percussion such as the sounds of the drum, hand and finger techniques, solid, basic timekeeping, body rhythms, spoken words as a basis of rhythm, call and response rhythms, 2, 3 and 4 part rhythms, as well as a variety of other rhythmic activities that, besides drums, involve the use of bells, gongs, chime bars, shakers and more or less anything else that comes to hand and springs to mind.

Schedule for the day:

10.30am – 1pm Morning Session

1pm – 2pm Free Lunch in the Pews: Your hosts at The Hermon will serve a delicious, vegetarian lunch of homemade soup, bread and fresh salad for all participants to enjoy – a lovely opportunity to socialize and regain strength for the afternoon session! Drinks can be purchased from our in-house bar.

2pm – 4pm Afternoon Session

Please bring your own drum and percussion instruments if you have any, but no worries, there will be plenty of instruments at hand! Whatever your experience, plenty or none at all, be sure to bring your enthusiasm – come and make a joyful noise!

DRUM CIRCLE FORECAST: Rick will continue his monthly drum circle at The Hermon with 2-hour sessions on 20th April, 18th May, 15th June and 20th July – plenty of opportunity for extending your gained skills in this friendly group!

Tenbury Wells Spring Foraging Courses @ Burford House Gardens
Tickets
Mar 24 @ 12:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Tenbury Wells Spring Foraging Courses @ Burford House Gardens | Burford | England | United Kingdom

Built in 1728 Burford House and its beauiful gardens have been open to the public since 1958. At one point in the garden is the spot where the three counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Shropshire meet. The countryside around theses three counties is both beautiful and rich in wild edible plants and fungi. On the outskirts of Tenbury Wells, it is within easy reach of Ludlow, Leominster, Bromyard, Kidderminster, Hereford, Worcester, Bridgnorth and Shrewbury.
We will meet outside the cafe at Burford House. The course starts there with a short introduction on what to look for and a brief of the general countryside codes, where they relate to foragers. Tea or coffee is available from the cafe.
Then we’ll set off on a roughly 2.5 hour walk around the grounds of Burford House park and along the River Teme, teaching you how to identify the different Spring shoots, plants, flowers and hopefully mushrooms that we find.
There will be a break along the way for some homemade refreshments such as our lovely hogweed and wild garlic soup.
After the walk we will end the day with a tasty wild food lunch based on what we have found. This will include some treats made from our recent finds, a wild salad that we will pick on the day and possibly even some wild garlic pesto.
After the course we will email you a list of everything we talk about on the day; to help you remember what you have learnt.
There are limited spaces available so please book your tickets online.

Mar 31 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
High Firing with Enamels. Full day £65.00 @ The Artshack | Shrewsbury | England | United Kingdom

We’ll be using enamels fired at higher than normal temperatures, learning to fuse finely powdered enamel onto the surface of copper to create beautiful a glossy glassy surface. exploring the fascinating process of the alchemy that exists between enamel and metal, we will be firing our pieces up to temperatures in the kiln of 1000⁰C to encourage the interaction between the enamel and copper and between different enamels. Trying to control the unpredictable, you will design and finish at least one small copper bowl. The cost of the workshop includes, one copper bowl as well as the enamels needed. A supply of more copper bowls will be available for you to purchase if you wish to do more than one. We limit each workshop to a maximum of 8 people to ensure individual attention and faster learning.
Tutors: Ann Jones and Lynette Charles.
