Artists Exhibition Studies and Works at Southsea Cinema

My Friendly Planet Art and Design School presents their latest exhibition at Southsea Cinema and Art Centre on Palmerston Road from 22 June to 8 July 2023.

This exhibition is an opportunity to introduce eleven talented local artists showcasing various approaches to paintings, drawings and sculptures which exude style, skill and talent. Through their creative journey, some of these artists have rediscovered a passion to mark making, a skill and talent rekindling their love of art through the art of playing. This Artists Exhibition Studies and Works is a true celebration of the artistic value experienced in joining art classes as they have helped some of these artists to experiment, gain creative and practice confidence, to create friendship and to develop creative collaborations in attending the various projects offered at My Friendly Planet Art & Design School and the creative communities.

This exhibition ties in nicely with My Friendly Planet Southsea’s Life Drawing Special Workshop, on 24th June, from 1pm to 5:45. This is a unique life drawing event where 4 MFP Life Drawing Social Club models are to model for 4 hours, in all 4 sessions. Such events are rarely produced in Portsmouth, and people would have loved the idea of being able to draw super-duper models together at the Southsea Community Cinema & Arts Centre. This is also the first time where Alan, Ella, Indi and Julian get to model together. People are invited to come forward and join in any of the sessions. There are 20 spaces available per session. All resources are provided, charcoal, pencils, pastels, biro, paper A2/3, boards and easels, erasers, tape/clips and paper towels. Participant will get to warm up for a few minutes, with 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes poses, and get the chance to take their drawings with them, but not before photos are taken of what have been produced during the session, which are to be showcased on the website and social media platforms of My Friendly Planet.

"A big thank you to Aysegul Epengin and The Southsea Community Cinema and Arts Centre team for supporting our creative journey, and to all the artists to have collaborated in making this show possible" said organiser, Tina Sanchez.

Delicious thinly sliced pork in Korean marinade

Sometimes you found a recipe and wrote it down on a piece of paper to try it out. Having done that, you forget where the recipe came from. Likewise this Korean recipe for pork, which turned out to be so delicious we have cooked it for everyone. The marinade is simple to make and yet really packed with flavours. For the Korean marinade you need 3 garlic cloves 1/2 brown onion 1/2 a pear or apple Blitz these ingredients together and then add 5 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman) 3 tablespoons caster sugar 2 tablespoons sesame oil 3 tablespoons mirin black pepper For dinner for 2 people, 200g pork tenderloin is enough. Slice this thinly, and bash it to an even thinner piece with a meat mallet. Marinade in the sauce and leave it in the fridge for an hour. Then heat a frying pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of vegetable oil and fry the thin pork pieces until browned. You want some of the edges of the meat to be dark brown and caramelised, if you can. Don't cook too many pieces or ...

‘Southsea dinosaur’ returns

Luna Park 2021, an eagerly anticipated new public artwork for Portsmouth designed by internationally renowned artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak of Studio Morison will be launched on 2 October 2021 on a celebratory day in Southsea Common. The 1.4 metres bronze sculpture is a tribute to the original 53-foot high 2010 artwork Luna Park, which tragically burned down on Southsea Common. The artists will unveil a new sculpture that responds to ten years of public demand to ‘bring back the Southsea Dinosaur’. The new public artwork will be located within a direct sightline to the position of the original Luna Park sculpture. It will sit on top of a fossil Portland stone plinth with a QR code which when scanned with a smartphone will connect to an Augmented Reality experience. People will be transported to a digital rendering of the original artwork, seemingly standing life-size in front of them on Southsea Common. Viewers will also be able to use their mobile devices to visit a...

Indonesian fried spring rolls (Lumpia Goreng)

I don't often make Indonesian food because the ingredients are hard to find, but our local supermarkets are getting better at stocking ethnic ingredients. In the frozen section of Tesco, near the samosas, you can find the spring roll pastry. Don't bother asking the branch in Chester. I was laughed at by the cashier when I asked for spring roll skin, because 'skin' is what we call the wrapper in Indonesian. Her more helpful colleague offered me filo pastry instead, which can be a good substitute. I'm afraid no one in Chester has yet to taste my amazing spring rolls as a result. Friends in Southsea are luckier! Here are the ingredients to make 30 spring rolls (the packs come in 30 or 40 pieces) 1 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced 2 carrots, julienned 1 red or yellow pepper, julienned 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 1 medium courgette, julienned 1 tablespoon of Oyster sauce (omit if cooking for vegan) 2 tbsp soy sauce salt and pepper to taste 1 tbsp vegetable oil f...
