Painting Vibrant Florals

A playful and process-led workshop exploring the possibilities of mixed media painting through drawing, composition and mark-making. In this workshop we will be using real-life floral forms as a springboard to explore shape, structure and composition. Through guided drawing exercises, you’ll develop studies that will form the foundation of your painting.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

With a fast-paced retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel - revolution, romance and razor-sharp comedy are guaranteed. IntoBodmin are a proud partner in supporting this show in coming to Cardinham Woods. France is burning, the guillotine is busy, and Marguerite Blakeney is stuck in England with an idiot husband, a man so relentlessly foolish, it’s starting to feel strategic…However when ruthless revolutionary Chauvelin – head of the French Republic's Committee of Public Safety, with a very loose grip on the word “safety” – threatens her brother’s life, Marguerite is dragged into a world of spies, secrets and very sharp blades. Will she betray the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, or let her brother face the guillotine. What do you do when every choice costs you the person you love? Three actors tear through revolutions, opera houses, seedy Dover pubs and glittering ballrooms using nothing but a mountain of wigs and sheer nerve. Expect quick-fire gags, high-octane multi-rolling in this sharply modern, joyously theatrical retelling of Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling classic. IntoBodmin have been producing Theatre in the Woods for the last 5 years, bringing you the opportunity to experience the finest performances Cornwall has to offer in Bodmin's very own National Forest. **VIP TICKETS ON SALE NOW ** NEW for this year's Theatre in the Woods show.
