Description

Join us for a special three-day stone carving workshop at Oakraven Field Centre! In honor of St. Anthony's Day on his saints day of 17th January, we invite you to immerse yourself in a unique artistic experience dedicated to the life and works of St. Anthony. As craft masters we are taught an object is given an energy, presence or power through the intent of its creator, location or material. I know of no English works word that explains this blessing better than the Arabic word barakah. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful pilgrimage route to St. Anthony's Holy Well near Micheldean, this workshop promises to inspire both beginners and experienced carvers alike!

Meaningful Craftsmanship: Explore the spiritual significance of St. Anthony as you work, creating pieces that reflect his compassion and dedication to others. Who Can Join: This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in art and craftsmanship, regardless of skill level. Come with an open mind and creativity! Limited Spaces Available!
