As regular readers may remember, I’m going to be artist-in-residence at this year’s inaugural Bishop’s School of Prayer, 9th-13th May at Launde Abbey in Leicestershire. There are three full days, the afternoons of which will feature workshops led by the day’s teachers, myself and the musician-in-residence. I’ve been prepping some potential workshop projects, and here are a couple of experiments that have made the grade:

There are still spaces available for the course, with both residential spaces and day passes. I do hope you will join Bishop Martyn and the other teachers and leaders for what is essentially a three-day conference on prayer.

Used in this project

• 6×6″ laser etched white ceramic tiles (for more details, drop me a line)
• Creativ Company Glass and Porcelain pens: black – 12mm, 2-4mm
• Creativ Company Hobby Felt for backing

The hand-drawn elements are allowed to dry for a few hours. After baking according to the porcelain pen manufacturer’s instructions, they become water and heat-proof. The same pen is used to smear ink into the etched areas to colour the lettering.
