Stokes Croft China Mug Decorating Workshop

Tickets Spend a relaxing afternoon creating a uniquely decorated piece of fine bone china! Collage together many images and as much text as you like from our unrivalled collection of historic and new water-slide ceramic transfers – there’s plenty of weird & wonderful things to choose from, whether you’re into vintage roses or anarchist slogans. Our experienced workshop crew will guide you through applying the transfers to create your own uniquely designed mug*. Tickets include a fine bone china mug, transfers, firing and tuition. *If you want to make something else, choose from a selection of other fine bone china ware (available for an additional charge on the day). SESSION TIMES: 1.00 – 3.00pm or 3.15 – 5.15pm COLLECTING YOUR FINISHED PIECE: the decorated china ware needs to be fired then cooled, so you’ll be able to collect them from our shop one week after the workshop. FAMILY FRIENDLY: children are welcome but must be supervised at all times. Suitable for ages 8+. CAN’T MAKE IT? With at least 3 days notice you can rebook or request a refund via Yuup. Want to support PRSC more than you already are? Make sure you book using our referral link (same as the button above) so a little more ticket money comes our way!

Good Evening - Live Jazz: Onmo

/ Contemporary Jazz / Groove / Spiritual Guitarist and composer Jean de Talhouët brings immersive contemporary Jazz blending spiritual grooves, polyrhythms and modal harmony realised by a bold and spirited ensemble. Dynamic in form and mood, the music morphs from hypnotic kinetics, to uplifting aerials and brooding contemplations, inspiring movement, joy and reflection along the way. It is a wish to celebrate life itself – the vital energy that exists in all living things. Jean draws inspiration from jazz greats such as Wayne Shorter and Joe Henderson, as well as the European jazz Soper – Trumpet Jonathan Chung – Tenor Saxophone Jean de Talhouët – Guitar and Compositions Rupert Cox – Piano/Keyboards Huw V Williams – Double and Electric Bass Max Hallett – Drums. Good Evening has been collaborating with the Royal Albert to present great live music every Sunday night for over a decade. The program is rooted in Jazz ranging from its earliest forms to cutting edge contemporary fusions and everything in between, played by an ever growing circle of musicians from modern day masters to rising stars.
