During Lent 2010 we tried something very different! Artist Richard Bavin worked in 7 of our churches during March, using charcoal to make large drawings that explore light and dark.  He worked quietly, beginning and ending with a simple prayer, so that the drawing process became a time of stillness and attention, a kind of meditation.

In preparation Richard ran 3 short drawing workshops which were very well attended, as were his drawing sessions in each church.

This event was part funded by The Elmley Foundation. Richard Bavin is represented by the Apple Store Gallery and has his work on display in the online Saatchi Gallery.
