Ways of Life, Jim Ede and the Kettle's Yard Artists
By Laura Freeman
Wednesday 10th June
6.45pm Soup, 7pm Book Club

For June’s book club we are reading ‘Ways of Life’ the first biography of Jim Ede of Kettle's Yard, a visionary who helped shape twentieth-century British art.

The lives of Jim Ede and the Kettle's Yard artists represent a thrilling tipping point in twentieth-century modernism: a new guard, a new way of making and seeing, and a new way of living with art. The artists Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Alfred Wallis and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska were not a set like the Bloomsbury Set or Ravilious and his friends. But Jim Ede recognised in each of the artists he championed something common and kindred, some quality of light and life and line.

Not a Camera Club
Friday 26th June, 3pm-5pm
Theme: ‘Messing about in Boats’.
Meet outside the front door entrance to Walton and Frinton Yacht Club at 3pm.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing–absolutely nothing–half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." This famous line from Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows perfectly captures the joy of taking to the water.

The theme this month is ‘Messing about in Boats’. Upload your photographs to the ‘Not a Camera Club’ Facebook page in the ‘Boats’ folder. This theme begins our summer season of working on a photography series about the locations and lives in the Walton Backwaters as mapped in Arthur Ransome’s 1939 book ‘Secret Water’,’ for an upcoming exhibition at the F&W Yacht Club for the Walton Arts Festival in September. This month we will be meeting at the W&F Yacht Club to take photographs in the surrounding area of the yacht club basin. We will end with a drink on the terrace.

Car parking is available at the club, or it is a 7-minute walk from The Nose. You could meet at The Nose at 2.45pm and walk up together.
