A beautiful exploration of engineless sailing, shot on analogue film over three years. The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing the natural elements alone, following a diverse array of traditional boats and uncovering the unique rhythms and motivations of engineless navigation.

Journeying through rivers, coastlines, and open seas, spanning the UK, the Netherlands, and France, Wind, Tide & Oar creates a contemplative space, addressing themes of ecology, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history. Using a 1960s hand-wound camera, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft, upended by the invention of mechanised power.

“A work of exceptional artistic skill…one of the most daringly ambitious and original films of the year. ★★★★” Film Review Daily

“This contemplative documentary is a feast for the ears and the eyes, its gorgeous imagery giving Turner a run for his money” – The Guardian

Natalia Charogianni leads a workshop based on a Chinese technique of using the side of the hand to make prints that resemble prawns. 

The session will start with designing the plate on which the prawn prints will be made. We will decorate the rim of the plate using masking fluid and Chinese watercolour paints, building designs in layers. While this is drying we will look at the anatomy of a prawn and start making some initial hand prints to test out the marks the side of our hand can make and how to best position it and apply paint. 

Once we have mastered that, we will learn how to add additional details, like the prawn’s tail, head, legs and antennae. When we are confident we will proceed to print on our finished plate.

£10    Price includes all materials.

Join local artist Nicky Harwood to discover the magic of tetra pak (fruit juice cartons) drypoint – a versatile and exciting printmaking technique.

-Learn various techniques to create one-of-a-kind, vibrant prints.

-Experiment with textures, colours, and tools to bring your vision to life.

Drypoint is a printmaking technique where an image is created by scratching directly into a metal plate with a sharp tool, like a needle or diamond point. The scratches, along with the burr (a raised edge created by the tool), hold ink, which is then transferred to paper under pressure to create a print.

£10 includes all materials

The Three Inch Fools celebrate their 10th anniversary with a brand new production ‘The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I’, based on the legendary monarch Elizabeth I at this summer.

We invite you to lay down a rug, admire the far-reaching views across the Tamar Valley, and enjoy those extra hours of sunshine at this open-air performance.

——————————

Synopsis

Elizabethan theatre is flourishing. But will a brand-new Tudor musical romp, in which Good Queen Bess takes to the stage herself, be the making of this heroine or spell the beginning of her downfall? The stage is set for regicidal rivalries, devious dramatics, and plotting playwrights. Beset by misunderstandings and a script that…let’s just say…needs some work, this production promises to be largely historical, totally hysterical. As the old saying goes…thy show must go-eth on!
