From colourful prayers to the manor of Friends
Colourful prayer
Creatively-inclined Friends gathered together for a Quaker Arts Network (QAN) day at Woodbrooke last autumn, entitled ‘Colour Our Prayers’.
Jane Garbett took part in the group: ‘The focus for our workshop was exploring prayer through the arts… we used the ancient practice of pattern making to express our prayerful thoughts creating a “zentangle”, which I found gave an extraordinary focus to my own prayer and is a practice I will continue to use… We also had an opportunity to speak about and share our own work and experiences. It was lovely to see the variety of work, which included mosaic, poetry, painting and more.’
