An Evening with Terri Apter and Julia Samuel

One in three people over the age of 50 has grandchildren. These grandparents are the first generation to be both psychologically aware and very hands on, playing an integral role in their grandchildren’s lives. But when a child becomes a parent themselves, existing family structures are radically altered. Old tensions between parents and their adult children may come into sharp relief while new relationships with in-laws must be navigated carefully.
EDWI – Learn to paint on silk
7.30pm-9.30pm. Our February event is a craft event. Members and guests will learn how to paint on silk. All equipment will be provided, and you will take home the item at the end of the evening, where you need to finish the preserving process by ironing your silk item. If you like to paint a particular design we suggest you bring a sketch. Freestyle is a perfect choice, the flow of the paint creates designs that are difficult to create. The image shown was painted in freestyle without any sketch. This might be the start of a new hobby for you, the possibilities are endless, scarves, jewellry, clothing, cushions, curtains etc.

Three Great Game-Changers of 19th Century Opera
8pm-9pm. The world of opera is full of remarkable contributors, game-changers who left the stage in a completely different place from the one they found. In the 19th century three such men revolutionised the art form in very different ways: Verdi, Wagner and Puccini. From the romantic heart breakers of La Traviata and Rigoletto, via the mystery and magic of The Ring Cycle, to the melodramatic tear-jerkers of Tosca and La Boheme, audiences enjoy their remarkable journeys and the innovative theatricality which highlights so much of their work.. Visitors welcome £10 at the door, cash or card.
