Artrock at Pop-Up Strawberry Gallery this weekend

Next up at the Pop Up Strawberry Gallery in 61 High Street, Milford on Sea is local artist, Artrock Andrew this weekend, Saturday 22nd & Sunday Sunday23rd March 2025.

About Featured Artist: Artrock Andrew 

Andrew Johnson is a self-taught artist who loves to put on his headphones and let the creativity flow.

Andrew has a specific style that he likes to describe as Fluid, Abstract and Drip Art influenced by and inspired from the likes of Jackson Pollock, Dawn Crothers, Stephen Lee and an artist by the name of Swarez.

Andrew explains his journey & work: "At the beginning, the sheer passion and enjoyment for painting motivated me to put paint to canvas, but now having the ability to share my work through my website and showcase my creative pieces to people beyond close friends and family really inspires me.

Looking back, it was inevitable that this creative streak inside me would explode and break free enabling me to paint the colourful abstract pieces that I create today.

I use acrylic and mediums to paint on to purchased frames and canvasses in a variety of sizes but if you don’t see something that is perfect for you… get in touch and I can create something special for you to enjoy."

Free Sign Language Open Day This Saturday

Everyone in the village is invited to a Free Sign Language Open Day this Saturday 22nd March from 10am to 12 noon in Milford on Sea Village Hall in Park Road, SO41 0QU.

This informal Open Day will give simple tips on communicating with deaf people, or those with hearing impairment. It will also give an insight into how British Sign Language helps deaf people communicate with their silent world.

It is likely that we all know someone who struggles with their hearing. A visit to the open day would give you valuable tips on the best way to communicate with them.

Everyone is welcome to pop in to this informal open day, whether as an individual, business or organisation.

Just imagine the smiles if you could communicate better with any deaf people you know or meet.
------------------------------------------

To see Rose's Dance
please click here
Few that saw it, will ever forget the stunning and highly emotional dance by Rose Ayling-Ellis, as she perfectly danced in silence on Strictly Come Dancing.

Rose is a big supporter of British Sign Language. She has been deaf since birth and uses BSL herself to communicate with the world.

She & Giovanni became Strictly Come Dancing Champions in 2021, during which they performed 'Silent Symphony', without doubt, the best ever dance on this long-running and much loved show.

------------------------------------------

Deaf Awareness Course: Introduction to British Sign Language

After the Open Day, for those that might be interested, it is planned to hold an Introduction to British Sign Language Course. This course will be ideal for individuals, businesses, groups or organisations.

After three very successful Introduction to British Sign Language Courses in the village, another Ten Week Course is due to start:

Monday 31st March 2025 until Monday 23rd June 2025 from 5pm to 6pm.
 (Breaks on 2 Bank Holiday Mondays). Held in Milford on Sea Village Hall/Library in Park Road, Milford on Sea, SO41 0QH.

The aim is for you to be able to communicate with deaf people, and this valuable and caring skill can enhance the lives of those you meet who are unable to hear the world around us.

We are fortunate to have Nancy Weatherson running the course, she is a qualified Deaf Communications Professional living in Milford on Sea, and she supports deaf and hard of hearing people throughout the UK.

In 2022 the BSL Act was passed, meaning that British Sign Language has now been recognised as a language of England, Wales and Scotland in its own right. This is a wonderful success for the deaf community.

Nancy works closely with Deaf Professionals and together they have created a Deaf Awareness Course designed to introduce some useful communication tactics to you as an individual, or your group.

If this is something that you believe that you will benefit from and enjoy, now is your chance to learn something new that will really make a difference.

Course Cost: £130 in advance for the whole course | Bring a Friend: £115 each.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Deaf Awareness Course, please contact Nancy at: nancy@feelhear.co.uk. There is no obligation if you register your interest.
