Creative arts for everyone, inspiring communities for the glory of God.
Entertain. Celebrate. Challenge. Engage.
The Cheltenham Christian Arts Festival is putting on a series of free, online, creative workshops to help people improve their mental health and overall wellbeing.
This week, tutor Temi Manning (left) will be teaching brush lettering – calligraphy; how to turn scripture and quotes into beautifully hand lettered modern artwork, chalkboards and signs to encourage, bring hope and inspire joy in Christ.
Temi, is the owner and artist behind Living Letter Designs. She is based in Hampshire, and has been creating calligraphy and art professionally for the past 5 years.
As well as this being a useful skill for church members, to help them to design posters for churches and display Bible quotes in a beautiful manner, it also is a chance to try something new and be creative.
The Inspires workshops listed below are aimed at adults and the Octopus sessions are aimed at children. All are available online to view from the release date and time and will remain online after the date of the session.
Find out more and get the links on the Christian Arts Festival website.
