Book your place and join in on the hugely successful life drawing workshops at the Flavel. It's a wonderful opportunity to draw alongside Helena and practice one of the fundamental skills of art.

The workshops are for all abilities. Helena will be available to provide individual feedback and help as necessary. The sessions are divided into the first part of short poses, ranging from 1 - 20 minute poses, a short break and then one long pose for around 55 minutes.

Information on what you need:

Please bring materials that you would like to draw with; ideally some charcoal (compressed and willow), coloured soft pastels, soft pencil (2B or softer) and a rubber. If you have your own paper/sketchbook then please bring that too.

Drawing boards will be provided and sheets of A2 cartridge paper is available to buy in cash on the day - 4 sheets for £1. There will also be some basic materials available on the day in exchange for a cash donation.

Join local author Monty Halls as he tells one of the great un-known tales of WW2. In a remote house in Scotland, during Britain’s darkest hour, an extraordinary group of renegades, outliers, eccentrics, and visionaries gathered to create a new type of fighter. The story of the force they created, and the great raids they undertook (some of which were launched from Dartmouth), is told in his new book “Churchill's Killing House”.

Signed copies will be available on the night.

Monty is a former Royal Marines officer, best known for his three hugely popular BBC series ‘Great Escapes’, where he lived on the west coasts of Scotland and Ireland with his dog Reuben. Monty went on to present the multi-award-winning BBC series "Great Barrier Reef" and "The Fisherman’s Apprentice" again for the BBC, as well as series for Discovery and Channel 5.

Around 600 Latin inscriptions from Roman Spain and Portugal can be used to explore the extent and nature of life within the region in the Roman period. The talk will also cover what we can learn from these inscriptions about life including the role women played.

Claire's research lies in Roman social and economic history. She has published articles and contributed to, and edited, several books.
