Joyful patchwork

A delighted Quaker prison chaplain recently visited ‘Catching Dreams’, the annual Koestler Trust exhibition.

Joolz Saunders, of Norfolk and Waveney Area Meeting, said: ‘Imagine my thrill walking into the exhibition… and seeing the patchwork shoulder bag I had encouraged one of “my” ex-prisoners in Norwich to submit hanging up on display!’

The exhibition features a wide range of work from offenders, secure patients and detainees of all ages – from drawings, paintings and photography to poetry, music and textiles.
