Chapel Arts Monthly Makes—Debi Retallick

Debi is continuing to run the monthly make on Zoom but hoping to return to face to face sessions at the Chapel from September…..

May’s monthly make was a Bird sculpture; one of the participants has caught the making bug and is now on her 9th Bird sculpture; she’s even teaching her friends to make them! 

June Monthly Make: Join Debi for the next monthly make to do some wire work, creating your own dragonfly:  4pm on Tuesday 1st June 2021.

The July make will be an opportunity to create a painting with fibres reflecting on personal journeys coming out of lockdown through the concept of ‘landscapes’. From 4pm on Tuesday 6th July 2021. 

To book your place & receive zoom details please contact Debi at: debiretallick@googlemail.com 

There is no set charge for the workshop, please make a donation to the Chapel Project to support the ongoing community projects. https://www.ashvalechapel.com/ Thank you!

Retallick Family Art Installation: “Love Seeds””

We’ve just installed our artwork in a phone box called the red cube gallery on Frensham green. It’s a Retallick family collaboration in response to the pandemic titled ‘Love seeds’. It’s on from now until 22nd June, please do pop by and have a look! 

There is a notice board next to the phone box which explains what it’s all about … x ❤

Chapel Music: “Check out this Civic Hymn!” 

…this is a song released just recently through LICC (London Institute of Contemporary Christianity) as a Civic Hymn! Using that well known tune from Abide With Me, new lyrics have been penned by Noel Robinson, Andy Flanagan and Graham Hunter.

The song and string parts were arranged by Matt and then most of the sounds were recorded at the Chapel throughout February and March. Some extra bits were recorded remotely as some restrictions were still in place.

Have a listen and tell us what you think!
