Gelli plate printing workshop with Creative Hug

Join me, Sharon, for a fun afternoon learning the art of gelli plate printing, on Sunday, 12th April, 1-4pm. In this workshop you’ll be using various leaves, grasses or flowers, along with magazines for transfer prints, as I guide you through the step-by-step process of creating beautiful unique prints using a gel plate and acrylic paints. With stunning views over Christchurch Harbour, you’ll be in pleasant surroundings, in a relaxed atmosphere and creating lots of beautiful prints to take home and frame or use in other projects. It’s highly addictive and I’ll give you lots of inspiration so you can experiment with different processes to create beautiful monotype prints. Creative Hug offers lots of creative courses in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and craft kits are available to buy, so you can try another creative hobby at home or buy as a gift. • Beautiful river setting with balcony • Tea, coffee and biscuits provided • All materials included • Lots of colours to choose from

Elizabeth Lammas presents: Mary Caroline Tyler, née Southcombe

Monday 20th April: Elizabeth Lammas presents: Mary Caroline Tyler, née Southcombe, a true daughter of Milborne Port who certainly did her bit to help bring the war to an end, mentioned in Debrett’s for her achievements. Though not in uniform as her siblings were, she ‘led a group of uniformed Wrens in Hut 7’ at Bletchley Park, but of course could not tell anyone that for 50 years! Her husband, Mr FL Tyler, was a veteran of the D-Day landings.  A full and fascinating life. This is a repeat of the highly moving and engaging talk that Elizabeth and Caroline gave on 10th May 2025 as part of our VE Day Commemorations. It was so good that we are offering it again to those who missed it or for those who would like to hear it again!

The Effortless Spring Table: Live Cookery & Dinner at Studio Sherborne

A Live Cookery Evening & Shared Dinner Thursday 30 April | 5.30–8.30pm | Studio Sherborne, Unit 15, The Old Yarn Mills, Sherborne DT9 3RQ Spring deserves an unforgettable evening table. This is a relaxed, atmospheric cookery evening — where you gather round, watch, ask questions, and then sit down to eat a generous feast together. It’s for anyone who loves the idea of hosting… but sometimes finds it overwhelming. Too many dishes. Too much timing. Not enough new ideas. During this live cookery evening, I’ll show you how to: • Create sharing plates that feel abundant but unfussy • Get a gentle “wow” from the moment guests sit down • Build colour, texture and flavour into simple seasonal dishes • Shape a menu that caters to varied dietary needs without doubling your workload • Make THE salad dressing that people still talk about the next day • Host without stress or last-minute drama You won’t need to lift a finger, here — instead, you’ll gather round the table as I demonstrate each element, talk through the thinking behind it, and share practical, usable principles you can take home and use. And then we’ll sit down and enjoy the full menu together. The Menu Bubbly focaccia with mosaic butter Whipped feta, caramelised heritage beetroot, spring gremolata Queen butter bean & spring vegetable tagine with preserved lemon, dates and olives Za’atar roasted chicken, pomegranate molasses and labneh Jewelled grains Swoon-worthy seasonal salad plate Vanilla panna cotta, roasted...
