Celtic Sacred Art: Weaving Your Story

Date

Friday March 31st 2017

&

Sunday April 2nd 2017

Time

6:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Location

Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre, 1043 Beach Road , Torbay, New Zealand

Knot-work panels, entwined creatures, trumpet spirals, triskeles and illuminated lettering drawn in the Book of Kells, the Book of Durrow, the Lindisfarne Gospels and other Celtic manuscripts, express the intertwining of material and spiritual, heaven and earth, visible and invisible, known and unknown, ancient and new. They draw us nearer to the heart of God, the heart of Creation, and to one another.

This retreat is facilitated by Presbyterian pastor and Celtic calligrapher and artist, the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Button Prichard (USA), the Rev. Dr. Hilary Oxford Smith and harpist and singer, Julie Saraswati (NZ).

A wonderful opportunity for you to create, in an encouraging environment, your own Celtic knot-work designs or illuminated lettering. Decorative motifs, templates and underlays will be available to help you. All materials will be provided. (No drawing or artistic experience is required.)

Online bookings are not available for this event.
