MUSIC,WATER &COLOUR – Creativity Inspired Retreat
Saturday 30th October, from 9.45am to 4.00 pm
Monk’s guest house, Monastery of Christ our Saviour,
Jacks Lane, Turvey, MK43 8DH
Due to the popularity of the 21st of August using inks I am truly delighted to inform you that I will be running it again, this time also using fabric as well as paper. Please note that Br John has requested, to still keep us and them safe, that we still bring masks and numbers are limited to maintain social distancing of 1 meter, as much as we can. There will also be a cooked vegetarian lunch served in the dining room so we can also enjoy again the sense of being pampered we so much missed at our last meeting.
The Creative Activity
WATER & COLOUR led by me, Johan, cost £40
We will be using acrylic inks to make free flowing colour filled marks, shapes and pictures by just using water : water drops, tray of water, water spray, Paper AND cotton Fabric!
From your adventures with the ink and water you can then choose your favourite piece/pieces to make greeting cards or prepare pieces for mounting. All materials will be supplied including blank cards.
No previous art experience necessary just a willingness to take part.
Keeping You Safe
To reassure you that your safety is one of our key priorities, this is the feedback from our last day in September:
“The Creativity Retreat Day organised at Turvey was wonderful. So much thought had gone into both the content of the day and the practicalities around Covid. There was plenty of room and ventilation, and I felt completely relaxed knowing that the environment we were in was safe for me and the other participants”

“The event at the Monastery was very well organised to be Covid safe, I would be happy to attend a similar event as I felt totally safe and had a great day”
A.M.
“. . . spacious space, all individually packed equipment , the one way procedures….I felt very safe and clean knowing it’s all part of the Monastery’s love and care”
