SUMMARY:Build A Paper Animal Sculpture With Lino Printing (2-Part Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Explore paper sculpture and lino printing in this two-part creative workshop inspired by vintage decorative art and handmade animal sculptures. \nAcross two sessions\, you’ll build and decorate your own hare\, cat\, or dog sculpture using paper\, recycled materials\, paint\, and hand-printed lino designs\, working from a pre-made forma throughout. \nPart 1 – Sat 27 Feb\, 10:30am-3:30pm \nBuild your sculpture using papier-mâché and recycled materials\, then design a simple motif and carve it into an easy-cut lino block. \nPrint your design onto A2 lining paper and leave both prints and sculptures to dry. \nPart 2 – Sun 28 Feb\, 10:30am-3:30pm \nPaint your dried sculpture with gesso\, cut out your lino prints and decorative details\, then assemble and layer everything onto your piece. \nAdd colour\, pattern\, and finishing touches to bring your characterful animal to life. \nYou’ll leave with a completed vintage-inspired animal sculpture featuring your own printed motifs and decorative details. \nNo experience needed; suitable for beginners and the art curious. \nPlease note this is a two-part workshop taking place over two weeks\, and participants are expected to attend both sessions to complete their sculpture. \nFood and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafés. \nThis workshop is suitable for ages 16+. \nWhat is lino printing? \nLino printing is a printmaking process where designs are carved into lino blocks\, inked\, and printed onto paper or fabric to create bold decorative patterns and repeated motifs. \nCombined with paper sculpture techniques\, lino printing can be used to add texture\, detail\, and surface decoration to three-dimensional artworks. \nAbout your tutor \nSuffolk sculptor and artist\, Caroline Corkhill\, makes paper sculpture birds\, hares\, cats and dogs…an eclectic array of quirky beasts! \n She creates using eco-friendly materials\, embellishing her sculptures with handprinted lino cut papers. \nThe decorated creatures are her current passion although her past commissions have included large scale outdoor wire sculptures for the Helmingham Hall Illuminated Trail and Folk East Festival. \n“I’m really motivated by play\, by colour and light. My paper sculpture animals are fun and a nod to folk art design from Nordic cultures. “

SUMMARY:Fabienne Ambuehl
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £16 / £15 concs\nDoors 7pm\, show 7.30pm\nThis show is for a seated audience\n\n“Thrive exudes such all-round positive energy which is difficult to escape from\, let alone want to” writes Robert Fischer from Jazzthetik Magazin. \n\nKnown for her vibrant contemporary jazz\, weaving together elements of poetry and storytelling\, Ambuehl’s latest album Thrive (2025) won “Jazz Recording of The Year” at the 2025 Presto Music Awards. \n\nWith fluid\, expressive piano playing and emotive vocals\, her sound is lyrical and rich in detail\, drawing inspiration from poetry\, urban life and the natural world.\nThe debut album Glitterwoods (Traumton\, Berlin)\, was named ‘Album of the Year’ by UK Vibe and she has since performed with different artists internationally\, including a musical residency in Senegal funded by Arts Council England and appearing as the improvising soloist with Jazzchor Freiburg at the Eurovision Choir contest in Riga\, Latvia.\nThe music of the London-based\, Swiss-born pianist\, singer and composer receives widespread acclaim from the international jazz press. \n\nFabienne Ambuehl leads a quartet featuring some of the UK’s most in-demand jazz musicians. The quartet’s performances are engaging and energetic. The band will present the music from Thrive as well as some brand-new material from their upcoming album to be released later in the year. \n\nTogether with her virtuoso quartet\, she creates a concert experience that is as sensitive as it is powerful. With compelling rhythms and influences ranging from blues and Brahms to The Beatles\, the band creates a sound that is daring yet intimate\, and truly its own. \n\nTom Ollendorff\, guitar \nTom Farmer\, bass \nJon Scott\, drums\n\n“Ambuehl crafts a mesmerising soundscape that seamlessly blends songs and instrumentals…the album sounds terrific and delivers an impressively immersive musical experience”. ****Jazzwise Magazine UK\, Peter Quinn \n\n“Ambuehl’s vocals are crystal clear\, distinct and refreshingly free of jazz clichés\, making them equally suited to the classic or folk realm.” Neil Duggan All About Jazz UK \n\n“With Thrive\, Ambuehl poses somewhat of a triple threat as a fine pianist\, wonderful singer and a composer of note.” Nick Lea\, Jazzviews UK \n\n“Thrive exudes such all-round positive energy which is difficult to escape from\, let alone want to… something has flourished and blossomed here.” Robert Fischer\, ****Jazzthetik Magazine Germany \n\n“Above all\, this is a different\, innovative kind of music – full of freedom\, breath and ease… a thematic interweaving that isn’t afraid to improvise with abandon. A wonderful album – we are thrilled!” Jacek Brun\, Jazzfun Germany \n\nwww.fabienneambuehl.com \n\nwww.fabienneambuehl.bandcamp.com \n\nwww.youtube.com/@fabienneambuehlmusic \n\nwww.instagram.com/fabienneambuehl
