Poetry evening with David Charleston and Arabella Shand
Saturday 24th October 2015

​David Charleston is a poet, bookseller and creative writing teacher. He has published four books of poetry, the latest being Allotment (Jardine Press, 2014). He travels with the Open Road Bookshop, Stoke-by-Nayland, and teaches third year creative writing at Essex University.
Arabella and David met many years ago and shared the same feelings towards art, nature and family. As friends and companions they have enjoyed similar experiences and express themselves through their different forms of art. Arabella has appeared in David's bookshop with an exhibition of her paintings at Christmas 2013. Although Arabella now lives in Wales she remains very close to David's heart.

Painting course with Jenny Wheatley
25th, 26th & 27th July
Over the course of three days, 10 students and one artist embarked on an artistic vision of Wivenhoe. Despite the typical English weather our paintings students thoroughly  enjoyed their experience painting with Jenny Wheatley. Seemingly simple tips and advice gave way to true artistic experimentation. Hopefully this has given them a taste of inspiration and confidence in the path of creativity.
