Clay Critters Workshop @ OmVed Gardens
May 12 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Clay Critters Workshop @ OmVed Gardens

Join local artist, Jo Pearl, ceramic sculptor and animation filmmaker, for a playful workshop that breathes clay into life while exploring OmVed Gardens’ flora and micro fauna.

Inspired by her body of work ‘Unearthed’ on view at the Alchemy exhibition, ceramic artist and animation filmmaker Jo Pearl will host a playful workshop inviting participants to sculpt the fascinating microbes and mini critters that live beneath healthy soil and bring them to life using simple stop motion.

This workshop is suitable for any age from 8 to 108. Participants must have a smart phone with the iMotion app (free to download) and be able to use it unsupervised. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

Breathing life into clay and clay into life – has become my definition of animation. I have become fascinated with the soil that is at the root of the ceramic discipline, enchanted by the truly overwhelming richness of life beneath our feet. I celebrate that abundance here with ‘Unearthed’, a project that zooms us down and focuses in on the choreography of ever-more tiny beings that inhabit the soil, a largely unknown place that holds one of the keys to life on earth.” – Jo Pearl

Jazz on the Tea Lawn: Carol Grimes and Friends

Carol Grimes is back! Join us on the Tea Lawn for a very special edition of Jazz in the House…

Carol Grimes is a British singer, songwriter, poet and author, a towering presence in the UK music scene; from busking in the streets as a teenager, singing blues and Jazz, to touring internationally with the contemporary classical group The Shout and her two of her solo albums in Nashville and Memphis  it is safe to say Carol is a truly genre-busting artist. Having turned to jazz and blues, her music embraces drama, love – music for night people.

Programmed by Blow the Fuse, who also feature on guitar (Deirdre Cartwright) and bass (Alison Rayner)!

Performers

Carol Grimes – Vocals

Steve Lodder – Piano

Deirdre Cartwright – Guitar

Alison Rayner – Bass

Booking information

This performance will take place on the Tea Lawn at the back of Lauderdale House.

Audience members with chairs will be seated behind those on the ground to make sure that everyone has a good view. If you are booking as a group, the whole group will need to be on chairs or on blankets, rather than a mixture of the two.

The performance will continue regardless of the weather unless unsafe. Please plan for all eventualities and remember to bring a waterproof layer and a warm jumper.

There are no refunds for shows cancelled due to the weather.

Jazz in the House 2024: Immy Churchill Quartet @ Lauderdale House
May 16 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Jazz in the House 2024: Immy Churchill Quartet

Get ready for the Immy Churchill Quartet – emerging new stars who are taking the jazz scene by storm.

The Immy Churchill quartet celebrates their love of incredible jazz singers such as Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Blossom Dearie in this evening of storytelling through The American Songbook and other great songwriters. Immy Churchill is recognised as a “rising star” on the jazz scene and will be joined by fellow leading lights Scottie Thompson, Jonah Evans and John Williamson.

Fresh from the Royal Academy of Music, Immy cites her influences from Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra to Joni Mitchell and Norma Winstone. She is already making a name for herself on the London scene, playing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express and The Royal Albert Hall.

“Each time I have heard Churchill sing, I have noted not just her ability to impress, by bringing understanding and a sense of music clarity to complex vocal lines, but also to affect an audience emotionally, to draw in our attention and to give memorable performances which stay in the mind.” London Jazz News.

We are proud to support emerging young artists as part of our Jazz in the House programme and are looking forward to welcoming the Immy Churchill Quartet who will be filling in last minute for the Clark Tracey Quintet.

Programmed by Blow the Fuse.
