SUMMARY:Aphra Behn wine\, made by Kentish vineyard Barsole
DESCRIPTION:It was a real pleasure to attend the Aphra Behn Society of Canterbury’s wine tasting earlier in October – one of many events planned for 2023/24 raising the profile of the pioneering Aphra and Canterbury as her birthplace. Expert Clive Barlow guided us through a selection of wonderful Kent wines\, perfectly matched with Behn readings by the society’s Hilary Scott and Patricia Hodges. The audience was a mixture of Behn enthusiasts and wine lovers.  \n80% of those who completed the feedback had not attended an Aphra related event before and the vast majority went away more knowledgeable about Behn’s life and work. Feedback comments highlighted Behn as a pioneer\, source of local pride and her value to Canterbury in terms of promoting positive diversity and potential to encourage visitors to the city. \nIt was an incredible informative and convivial afternoon. I can particularly recommend the local Pinot Gris. Chin chin!

SUMMARY:Public Talk by Sculptor Christine Charlesworth FRSA\, ‘The Statue of Aphra: A Sculptor’s Journey’
DESCRIPTION:Christine will illustrate through her photographs the whole story of creating the bronze statue of Aphra Behn. Starting from her initial idea\, through making the clay sculpture on a special armature\, making the mould sections\, followed by casting in wax for the lost wax process at the foundry. You will then see photographs of pouring the hot bronze into the ceramic moulds\, welding the parts of the statue together again\, through to the final patination on the sandblasted surface and waxing of the finished Aphra. After 18 months of hard work and testing deadlines\,  Aphra Behn is finally ready to walk the streets of Canterbury. Be one of the first to see what she looks like!
