Fashion Design

This will be a fun workshop where you will learn how to elevate an outfit with styling tips from a stylist. You will learn about the benefits of styling to feel your best, to be more confident and how to put together an outfit that you feel good in. I’ll share an intro into what colours work best with different skin tones. You will hopefully come away feeling energised and more emboldened to try new styles.

This Sunday we'll head to see Rose of Nevada in the Lighthouse, we'll meet from 11:15 in the Lighthouse cafe and head to the 12:15 screening. Make sure to book your tickets in advance! See you there. Ann. **Rose of Nevada** (114 min) **Director:**Mark Jenkin **Starring:**George MacKay, Francis Magee, Callum Turner, Mary Woodvine, Edward Rowe, Rosalind Eleazar **Synopsis** A Cornish modern classic. Eerie, heart-breaking, wonderful.’ — Mark Kermode When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign. The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick (George MacKay) and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) join captain Murgey (Francis Magee), and they head to sea. But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss — they’ve slipped back in time, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew. Rose of Nevada is Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin’s hotly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to his BAFTA-award-winning first feature Bait (2019) and Enys Men (2022). Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films, Jenkin once again serves as writer, director, director of photography, editor, sound designer and score composer.
