We are delighted to celebrate the publication of OLD SOUL by Susan Barker in partnership with Centre for Gothic Studies at Manchester Metropolitan University. Susan will be in conversation with Zoe Li, founder of online bookshop Juniper by the Sea. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book, which is available at a special launch event price of £14.99 on the evening or as part of the advance ticket. About the book: When two grieving strangers meet by chance in Osaka airport they uncover a disturbing connection. Jake's best friend and Mariko's twin brother each died, 6,000 miles apart, in brutal and unfathomable circumstances. Each encountered a mesmerising, dark-haired woman in the days before their deaths. A woman who came looking for Mariko - and then disappeared. Jake, who has carried his loss and guilt for a decade, finds himself compelled to follow the trail set by Mariko's revelations. It's a trail that weaves across continents and centuries, leading back to the many who have died - in strange and terrifying and eerily similar ways - and those they left behind: bewildered, disbelieved, yet resolutely sure of what they saw. And, at the centre of it all, there is the same beguiling woman. Her name may have changed, but her purpose has never wavered, and as Jake races to discover who, or what she is, she has already made her next choice. But will knowing her secret be enough to stop her? This the kind of story you tell around a campfire as the lights of civilization begin flicker out around you; a global, intelligent, and ambitious archetypal nightmare - KRISTEN ROUPENIAN, author of Cat Person Susan Barker’sOld Soul beguiles, terrifies, and utterly seduces you as swiftly and slyly as the mysterious woman at its center. It’s at once a thriller, a postmodern mystery, and an existential horror tale, but perhaps most deeply it speaks to our current moment: the drift and terrors of loneliness, the risks of intimacy and a piercing nostalgia that never lets us go - MEGAN ABBOTT, author of El Dorado Drive About the author: SUSAN BARKER is the author of four books. Her third novel,The Incarnations, was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and Notable Book, a Kirkus Reviews’ Top Ten Book of the Year and shortlisted for the Kirkus Prize for Fiction. An excerpt from her fourth novel,Old Soul,won a Northern Writers’ Award for Fiction in 2020. Susan currently lives in Manchester, where she is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Japanese artist Takahashi Hiromitsu creates dynamic, colourful prints showing exciting moments in kabuki, a traditional form of dance-drama. This is the second show in a two-part exhibition of his works in Gallery 29. Hiromitsu’s striking designs are not portraits of actual actors, but visualisations of famous kabuki roles. In kabuki, performers wearing elaborate costumes and make-up use stylised movement and song to enact melodramatic stories about love, loyalty and the clash between duty and emotion.

Love in Exile Love in Exile is a meditation on love, fulfilment, and escaping the confines of a ‘normal life’. Having spent much of her late twenties and early thirties trying – and often failing – to find the relationship, career, sex life and social life she equated with happiness and success, Faye began to realise that many of the women around her were also burning out in pursuit of these ideals, where the stakes seemed high and the rewards often disappointing. If we reject this idea of what a young woman’s life should be, Faye asks, what comes next? Shon Faye Shon Fayeis author of the acclaimed bestsellerThe Transgender Issue. Her work has been published in, among others, theGuardian, Independent,British VogueandVICE. She writes an advice column, Dear Shon, for Vogue.com. Born in Bristol, she now lives in London.

2-Day Glazes for Wood Firing Workshop 15 & 16 March 2025 We’re excited to offer a two-day course on glazes designed specifically for wood-firing at stoneware temperatures, led by renowned French ceramic artist and kiln firer Claude Aussage. This intensive workshop delves into the chemistry and techniques required to create glazes that thrive in the unique conditions of wood-fired kilns, with a particular focus on the high-fired stoneware range. Claude’s course covers essential topics such as: • Understanding glaze chemistry: The role of fluxes, silica, and alumina in achieving the desired melting behavior and surface qualities under wood-firing conditions. • Developing glaze recipes: How to adjust base recipes to enhance the ash interaction and atmospheric effects characteristic of wood-fired surfaces. • Testing and refining: Techniques for small-batch glaze testing, firing analysis, and adapting glazes to specific kilns and clays. This workshop precedes a five-day kiln-building and firing course, giving participants the opportunity to expand their expertise further by applying their glazes in practice. Attendees are welcome to enroll in any of the courses individually or as a combined learning experience. Having Claude in the UK is a rare and valuable opportunity. His expertise and passion make each session a unique event, providing both inspiration and practical skills. He returns periodically to share his knowledge, and every visit feels like a special occasion for our ceramics community. Whether you’re just beginning to explore high-fired glazes or are looking to refine your wood-firing techniques, this is an unparalleled opportunity to learn from a master of the craft in a hands-on, collaborative setting.

Fastfiring Kiln Building Course 17-21 March 2025 £750.00 SAVE YOUR PLACE NOW £50 Your Eventbrite booking allows you to book a place. Once you have booked a place we will contact you to arrange a payment link for the balance of your course payment. Returning to Oxford Kilns, we have our next dates for our Fastfiring Kiln Building Course. This course is led by Claude Aussage, one of Europe's leading kiln builders. This is a wood-firing kiln of his own design, developed from decades of kiln building across the world, and adapted in the light of over a hundred firings at Oxford to meet the conditions and requirements of our kilnsite. These are the really excellent fastfire kilns, that are in almost constant use at Oxford Kilns, and on which we run our woodfiring courses. These kilns are highly adaptable, and will fire on scrap wood to 1300 degrees/cone 12 in reducing conditions over 8 to14 hours. They can produce an excellent array of wood-fired effects. The course consists of a kiln build and a first firing. It includes lectures on kilns, woodfiring and ceramics and is co-taught by Dr Robin WIlson, director of Oxford Kilns, ceramic artist, anthopologist and archaeologist. Robin has a decade of leading a high paced programme of firings at Oxford, evolving the firing techniques rapidly to make the very best of the kilns and wood. You will be able to bring your own pots and fire them in the kiln you build. There is free camping on site, with hot showers and an out-door kitchen, or you can arrange your own accommodation locally. There are a large number of local AirB&Bs. Limited accommodation at our fieldstudy centre in the Woods is also available for those booking early in advance. Usually firing teams cook and eat communally on site, which we will arrange nearer the time. For help and advice, contact Dr Robin Wilson of Oxford Kilns.

We can't wait to welcome Heather Parry to the shop to discussion her claustrophobic, captivating new novel CARRION CROW,about a young woman locked away in the attic to preserve her family's name. Heather will be in conversation with Lara Williams, author of Supper Club and The Odyssey. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy the book. About the book: There are some facts about the world that only your mother can teach you. Marguerite had been confined for the sake of her wellbeing. That's what her mother had said. Marguerite Périgord is locked in the attic of her family home, a towering Chelsea house overlooking the stinking Thames. Her mother is concerned that Marguerite's engagement to a much older, near-penniless solicitor, will drag the family name into disrepute and this simply won't do. For company Marguerite has a sewing machine, Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management and a carrion crow who has come to nest in the rafters. Restless, she spends her waning energies on the fascinations of her own body, memorising Mrs Beeton's advice and longing for her life outside. As Marguerite's patience turns into rage, the boundaries of her mind and body start to fray. Probably one of the best books I've read this year! It felt like an unholy mix of Ottessa Moshfegh and Leonora Carrington, whilst still being very much its own thing … I loved it - Julia Armfield, author of Private Rites and Our Wives Under The Sea About the author: Heather Parry is a Glasgow-based writer and editor, originally from South Yorkshire. Her debut novel, Orpheus Builds a Girl, was shortlisted for the Saltire Society Fiction Book of the Year Award and longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize.
