The 4 Johns bring you “All We’ve Got Time For” their hilarious, innovative, mind-blowing, spoken word comedy show.

Time is running out and there’s a million things to do. The 4 Johns are going to change the world, right all wrongs and start a revolution, just as soon as they’ve updated their socials, finished watching Netflix and stopped playing Minecraft.

Funny, innovative, outspoken, uninhibited and unafraid, the show will make you laugh, cry, think, and laugh again.

Ever wondered where all the time goes?

Join us in our monthly life drawing class with Gallery favourite, experienced artist and tutor, Rob Oldfield.

This workshop is open to everyone, from newcomers who want to take up a hobby through to experienced artists looking to hone their sketching skills.

Materials including various papers, pencils, charcoal and drawing boards will be supplied, but please feel free to bring your own too.

Explore the beautiful photographic process of cyanotype to create your own cyan-blue prints.

You will learn how to produce a set of cyanotypes where thin objects or acetates are placed directly onto specially-coated paper and then exposed to UV light. When these objects are removed and the paper is washed with water a blue image remains. You will also learn how to use a variety of effects called toning, intensifying and reducing which alters the blue-ness of the prints.

Learn and develop your skills and confidence in using a range of media such as charcoal, pencil and graphite to create drawn portraits working from reference images.

You will then experiment with monoprinting using a technique in which the inked up plate is drawn into and partially wiped away, creating light and dark areas (chiaroscuro) before making prints of your portraits.

The workshop will be taught in a step by step way with tutor advice and guidance.
