This twice monthly class offers participants the chance to create simple objects for personal use or to give as gifts to loved ones.

Celebrating Call, Celebrating Challenge Clay Workshop

Thu, 12 May 2011 16:48:58 -0400

The Art of Prayer Workshop: Come and explore the creative process as a form of prayer. Most of the items we use in our daily lives are no longer made by hand. We rely on machines to create the plates on which we eat, the clothes we wear, and the products we use as we go about our days. In this workshop let your hands, your heart and your mind work together as you experiment, problem solve and stretch your imagination by creating simple clay vessels. This prayerful activity will connect you to the earth in unexpected ways. Your hands are the best tools you possess and can teach you more than you might hope or imagine.

These are pictures of the work created on May 5th in the workshop.

In preparation for an upcoming retreat on the theme of “Amazing Grace”, a group of women in this church gathered to create tiles and vessels to be used as aids in prayer and reflection. Exploring color and texture, they had a great time enjoying each other’s company and practicing the gift of creativity given to each of us by God’s grace.
