The Cathedral are delighted to welcome Sophie Artemis, a local artist, to lead art workshops for children in our beautiful building. Each session will focus on a different aspect of art in response to the cathedral, creating something that attendees can take away with them. Children in Reception to Year 2 will create a colourful collage; Year 3 to Year 6 pupils will create little books; and children and adults from 11 plus will have the opportunity to be guided in sketching aspects of the Cathedral under Sophie’s expert guidance. Further details are included on our website. Spaces are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.
Make a beautiful tunnel book using one sheet of paper. This ingenious book structure allows you to create a miniature world that folds flat and then stretches out to reveal hidden words and images. Once you have understood the basic structure, you can cut shapes out of each section to shift how the book is viewed. If there is time, we will make a simple slip case to house your book.
17 artists will be showing their books, prints and illustrations in this London Society of Bookbinders showcase of artist books. Prices start at £10 and entry is free.
Ian Farmer and Susie Wilson co-curated this exhibition of 80 books from 35 artists on the theme of pattern celebrated in book form. Books on show (all tunnel books in the thimble theatre series) Winter Solace, A Matter of Life & Death, Always it’s Spring and A Summer Dream £25 each.
