This is a workshop for experimenting and exploring the fun of drawing through different materials. Using a combination of speed, meditation and drawing with movement, we will be drawing from the imagination and subconscious, responding to the beautiful atmosphere of the church at St Jerome’s.

Join Lou Baker in some mindful making alongside her installation of red knitting in the spectacular Dore Abbey. Making is good for you; research shows that the repetitive actions of many textile processes can improve wellbeing. Making with others adds a different dimension; it leads to mellow conversation and a sense of connection.

This lecture will explore the ways in which art, architecture and theology are intertwined - it will explore the ways in which stones speak of God in the communities where they are placed, and how flesh and spirit encounter the divine in and around religious spaces.
