This workshop is perfect for those with some embroidery experience and would like to begin designing their own textile art. It's designed for those who are terrified of drawing or who don't know where to begin!

The day takes you through several different techniques, with absolutely no drawing skills necessary! You’ll learn how to create realistic and more abstract designs and consider how to turn them into pieces of artwork. Although no embroidery will take place during the workshop, you’ll leave with a range of designs ready to turn into artwork.

In celebration of the release of her hilarious memoir of the same name, comedian, novelist, and professional show-off Jenny Éclair comes to venues nationwide with a brand-new autobiographical show.

She’ll reminisce about everything from drama school, (mostly drinking cider and eating sausage rolls), sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana!

The first banana appeared on Earth 10,000 years ago. Randy Feltface believes humanity has been in a downward spiral ever since. The only logical solution is a brand new hour of comedy from a felt-faced comedian with an axe to grind.
