ART and SPIRITUALITY--- a series of workshops with a difference, presented by Theresa Prior

Held at the centre: Sunday 25th October and Sunday 22nd November 11:00 till 4:00pm $60 for each workshop. Attend either or both.

“I wish to encourage participants to be in touch with Divine Mystery; to communicate with the Divine Being we call God at a level that is beyond words through art making. We will be using a variety of media including inks, acrylic paints, oil pastels, shaving crème etc., on paper to produce a series of small art works and 2 large group art works. This is about fun, relaxation, shared spiritual experiences and making a lovely mess.”
Therese has a background in Art teaching and Religious Education teaching. She has her own art practice, specialising in painting and multimedia drawing. Therese has been involved in several group art exhibitions. Her recent art making reflects the spiritual aspects of Presence within Creation.
