Venue
The Old Junior School, South View Road, S7 1DB
The Art Room in the Sharrow Suite is a fantastic big messy arty type room where we can really have some creative fun. There's also a large foyer where we can have an exhibition at the end of the block.
The school has 3 buildings with the front on Sharrow Lane (500m from London Rd). Walk across the playground to the Reception in the middle building which is clearly signposted and ask where the Art Workshop is.
Or you can just go to the rear building, up the stairs and find us. This great venue is run by Sharrow Community Forum http://www.sharrowcf.org.uk

The perennial values embedded within sacred art forms mean they are unaffected by time and epoch and are as relevant today as ever. Through a holistic approach which integrates art, sociology and philosophy, participants may learn how to produce patterns of nature reflected in the traditional art, design and architecture of various sacred and secular cultures.
Observing in Nature the principles of beauty, and seeing them exhibited in the arts from every tradition, prompts recollection of our shared humanity. By way of various holistic learning activities including that of written and oral, as a micro-community we increase our level of cultural understanding |
An outcome might be the design and making of a wooden plaque using drawing, painting, gilding and embroidery, bearing a chosen picture from one of numerous designs including geometric and biomorphic patterns, calligraphy, spirals, mandalas and knot work. With the integration of personal expressive elements, nurtured by self-exploration exercises in a safe setting, the final piece is realised as fully owned by the budding artist, in an integral act of co-creation.
By working together and displaying our finished work as a single piece at the end of the day, we try to appreciate the whole is made of parts - individuals make communities and so on - another important aspect of sacred art.
If you are interested in traditional and sacred art forms including their contemporary values, I'm always happy to talk.
A bit more about me....

Because I am a holistic artist, my own practice and my workshops are seamlessly joined. Here are some examples of my paintings and plaques. This is the easiest way to create and display a lasting piece of sacred art. They are sacred for various reasons such as how they relate to the 'Golden Mean' and other aspects of the art of sacred traditions. Though I consider my art practice non-sectarian, I work mainly in Islamic art. This has been one of my favourite forms alongside Celtic, Chinese, Persian, Indian and Buddhist.
Although in principle these artforms relate to sacred principles, cosmology and scripture, it's funny to call this work alone 'sacred'. To categorise art is a risk we take. Needless to say, all of my art, like me, has always been looking, and continues to look for Unity.
