JANE IREDALE TO HOST MAKEUP MASTERCLASS
AT THE GRAND HOTEL
The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne is welcoming skincare and makeup
brand, jane iredale, to host a day of makeup masterclasses on Friday 5th
August.
The 30-minute sessions will offer top tips from experts at jane iredale on
the best products to suit your skin and the best ways to apply makeup to
enhance your natural beauty.
The health club and spa at the luxury, five-star hotel will be hosting the
masterclasses, with pre-booked appointments available between 10am
and 5pm.
Founded in 1994, jane iredale was the first brand to produce mineral
makeup with skin care benefits. Inspired by working in the entertainment
industry, where Jane herself saw actresses and models developing skin
problems because of their makeup, she created a mineral powder that
was a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen all rolled into one
that wouldn’t cause problems for the skin.
The 30-minute makeup masterclasses require a £20 deposit per person
to book, which is redeemable against a full range of jane iredale products
on the day. For more information and to book a jane iredale makeup
masterclass, contact The Grand’s health club on 01323 435025, or email
[email protected].
Jane’s goal is to make products that look good, feel good and are good
for the skin, as well as being easy to apply, so women can be at their best
in the shortest amount of time.
LAURA FORD PRESENTS BEAUTY IN THE BEAST
AT THE PALLANT HOUSE GALLERY
This summer, Pallant House Gallery presents an installation of bronze
sculptures by British sculptor, Laura Ford, featuring the uncanny,
imagined creatures for which she is recognised. Using Jean Cocteau’s
film, Beauty and the Beast, as a starting point, the installation creates
a link with the gallery’s major exhibition on Christopher Wood, to whom
Jean Cocteau was a close friend and influence. This is the latest in a
series of outdoor sculpture exhibitions in the gallery’s courtyard garden,
designed by Christopher Bradley-Hole, and comes as Ford establishes a
new studio in West Sussex. A related indoor display of Ford’s drawings
and smaller ceramics will run in the Garden Gallery until October 2016.
the boundaries between animal and human expression: girls that turn
into espaliered trees; animals and birds displaying human frailties and
characteristics. Through these imagined and sometimes nightmarish
creatures, she comments on the human condition, as well as social
and political issues, drawing on the influence of folk and ‘remembered
and misremembered’ fairytales. The use of creatures in her work is also
intended to make the works more approachable, making sometimes
uncomfortable feelings more palatable and engaging.
Laura Ford will be exhibiting in the courtyard garden and Garden Gallery
at the Pallant House Gallery until October 2nd 2016. The sculptures in the
garden will remain on show until May 2017. Ford will be ‘in conversation’
with Stephen Feeke, director of the New Art Centre, on Thursday 29th
September at 6pm.
Born in Cardiff in 1961, Ford studied at the Bath Academy of Art and
the Chelsea College of Art. She is known for the playful quality of her
work in which she creates characters that have a dark edge and blur
