Event Details

From 6th November ‘St Ives colony of artists’, Monday afternoons in Bridport 2pm or Friday afternoons from 10th November, 2pm on line:

The course starts by explaining the history of why artists were attracted to St Ives to paint, Turner for example travelled to west Cornwall to make watercolour sketches and drawings. The quality of the light in West Cornwall remains a factor that draws painters to the area. There was an increase in the number of artists in the later 19c onward, who came to Cornwall when the railway extends to Penzance. St Ives becomes a place artists feel free to experiment in their work, and there is support in the community to do so, from other painters. This leads to a hot bed of modernity in the late 1920’s onwards, with a new visual language developing amidst the painters and sculptors, which is a British version of Modernism; but quite often holds on to very recognisable figurative elements and uses form and colour boldly, responding to the landscape and seascape around the artists. Some of the artists discussed, will be Terry Frost, Bryan Pearce, Rose Hilton, Roger Hilton, Paul Feiler, Wilhelmina Barns- Graham, Peter Lanyon, Karl Weschke, Sven Berlin and the new movement of ceramics of Cornwall and other artists. So exciting was the art of St Ives that it attracted famous artists to visit the colony and some stayed and joined it!

Fee is £65 for 6 wks,

‘drop in’ lectures for £13 each.

Venue United Hall, East Street, Bridport.

Online fee £60.

13dec9:30 am4:30 pmSmoking & Curing Workshop with Steven Lambat Symondsbury Estate

Event Details

This practical masterclass will teach you all the artisan crafts needed to create authentic cured and smoked products such as bacon or hot smoked mackerel pate. These traditional, artisan methods that celebrate time as an ingredient will help you unlock the ancient knowledge that transforms fresh meat and fish into classic cured products and introduce techniques such as air drying that dismisses the notion of ‘use by and sell by’ as well as intensifying flavour.

Our expert tutor Steven Lamb will guide you through the techniques of dry curing, brining (wet curing), hot and cold smoking as well as fermentation. We’ll start with a brief chat on where curing and smoking sits in the pantheon of culinary arts and focus on the special ingredient of salt as the curing agent. We’ll move on to some basic butchery, to discover where the best curing and smoking products can be found and then focus on applying the various methods mentioned above. As time forms an integral part of the curing and smoking process there will be examples of pre-made products for tasting which will also act as a guide in terms of how products change throughout the process.

Curing and smoking techniques are the beginning of cookery and anyone attending this workshop will be tapping into the culturally significant ancient knowledge that allowed our ancestors to utilise fire and eventually preserve gluts of food for times when there was little to eat. These methods open the citadel to all those sweet, savoury smoky and spicy flavours that elevate flavours to a whole new level. Typically, we will make bacon or pancetta, chorizo and salami as well as hot smoked pork tenderloin and mackerel pate. From the cold smoker we will create a range of smoked cheese or butter as well as salmon or trout.

This is the perfect workshop to fine tune existing skills or develop new ones whether you want to make single products or create platters and mezzes of outstanding charcuterie.

Program For The Day:

9.30am – Arrival with coffee, tea and homemade bacon taster

10.00am – Course starts
The day starts with a brief introduction to the art of curing & smoking and where it fits culturally in the culinary world. Next there will be a session of butchery, breaking down a side of pork which will help to recognise where the best cuts are made to create perfect joints for curing and smoking. Everybody will make their own bacon from pork belly in this session before breaking for lunch

1.30pm – Lunch

2.15pm – Afternoon session begins
In the afternoon session we will mince pork shoulder to create cooking chorizo and salami. Then we will cover brining with an opportunity to use game such as pheasant or pigeon breast and discover the benefit in using a wet cure. We will then move onto hot and cold smoking to round the day off with a hot smoked pork tenderloin or mackerel pate and a cold smoked fish.

4.30pm – Course finishes

Skills covered:
After a day attending our Curing and Smoking Workshop you will have the skills and confidence to do basic butchery as well as applying the methods of dry curing, wet curing hot and cold smoking as well as fermentation to make an array of classic, authentic products. You will also have first-hand knowledge of what the best equipment and sundries to use and where to source it. Each attendee will leave with a booklet of methods and recipes to help support their onward learning journey.

Typical products made:

Bacon / Pancetta

Salami

Hot smoked fish and pork tenderloin

By 2050 it is estimated that world production of food will need to increase by 70% to feed a population of 9.1 billion. New kinds of pesticide have been developed which are suitable for organic farming, but which have not yet been adopted by multinational agrochemical companies. The time has come for change.

Insect pests, ranging from malarial mosquitoes to invading Asian hornets and numerous agricultural pests are currently controlled by toxic pesticides. It is a staggering fact that over 40% of all food and fibre produced in the world is lost to field and storage pests. The pesticide market for rice in India alone is estimated at $2.5 billion per annum, the losses of grain in storage in the US amounted to over $2 billion in 2010.

Pollinators, on the other hand, contribute an estimated $217 billion to the costs of global food production and need to be protected from the effects of agrochemicals.

Philip Howse was awarded the OBE for his research at Southampton University on ‘green’ methods of pest control. Philip Colfox, owner of the Symondsbury Estate, is one of a group of farmers in West Dorset seriously concerned about the damage to the environment and human health caused by synthetic pesticides.

Join us in finding out what can be done.

The HOP talks are part of an initiative aiming to inspire and inform individuals, families and local communities with tangible actions to help combat the effects of climate change and environmental degradation, and to raise money for charities working in these areas. Each month the charity is chosen by the speaker. The project was initiated by Philip Howse OBE (Professor Emeritus, University of Southampton) with Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS VMH (former Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) and the late James Lovelock CBE. Patrons include: George Monbiot, Clive Farrell, Dr George McGavin and Dr Kate Rawles.
