SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Massage and Online Wellbeing with Lana Walker - A&L
DESCRIPTION:You can learn self-care treatments that are nearly as good as the real thing (massage in-person). It might sound strange\, but it does actually work! The idea came when Lana was chatting with a friend on Zoom\, who said she had a sore neck and shoulders. Lana offered to show her some techniques that she could use on herself to reduce the tension in those muscles – it worked\, and the online self-care treatments were born… You will learn self-massage to relieve stress from your neck and shoulders\, experience the bliss of an Indian head massage and enjoy the uplifting feeling of Japanese / Indian / Swedish facial massage. Lana’s website is www.bodyandmindholistics.co.uk

SUMMARY:BRIAR ROSE GOLDWORK WORKSHOP WITH NIK RAVESCROFT
DESCRIPTION:EARLY BIRD MEMBER PRICE £40 – BOOK BY 31ST MARCH 2022 \nNON MEMBER PRICE £49 \n   \nThe Cookery & Creative Crafts Committee is pleased to welcome a new Tutor\, Nik Ravenscroft\, to run a goldwork workshop. \nGoldwork embroidery dates back thousands of years with its roots in religious and royal embroidery and the English were renowned for their particular skill in this area during the early medieval era – so much so that their work is known as opus anglicanum. Goldwork embroidery uses a variety of metal threads which produce dazzling results. \nThis workshop is suitable for both beginners and those with some experience of goldwork. You will be working a briar rose on silk fabric which can be made into a brooch\, and all the materials you need are included in the price of the workshop. You will need to bring – small scissors for thread; thimble; fine sewing needles; tweezers; notebook and pen; and glasses/magnifier. Nik has a lot of the equipment available to borrow\, so don’t worry if you have never done anything like this before – you don’t have to buy anything special. \nNik is an experienced teacher and embroiderer who is currently leading the team creating the Friends’ Norwich Tapestry (like the Bayeux tapestry) for Norwich Castle Museum’s refurbishment of its keep as a mediaeval Royal Palace. She has a great interest in historic embroidery and has taught embroidery to a wide range of students\, including embroidery groups. Nik will be supporting her workshop with photographs and recorded tutorials; this will reduce close contact and allow a good view of the sewing techniques to be employed. \nThis is the first time that CCC has offered a gold work workshop\, places are limited so don’t delay – book today and take advantage of our early bird price!
