This course will examine the publishing phenomenon of
Nordic Noir, locating its roots in the early twentieth century,
before exploring four contemporary novels from the genre.
Our texts will be Doctor Glas by Hjalmar Soderberg; Smilla’s
Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg; The Bird Tribunal - Agnes
Ravatn; The Flatey Enigma - Viktor Arnor Ingolfson and
Missing - Karin Alvtegen.

Practical Art: Watercolours for Complete Beginners (Part 1)
Do you want to learn the basics of watercolours? Have you tried before and given up in frustration? Why not join this course for support and encouragement?

It can be complex, confusing, and fun at the same time. While not a medium to be controlled or manipulated, part of the very beauty of working with watercolours is learning to let go! Come and join us to find out more.
