Friday 24th – Sunday 26th October 2025
Prayer Through Clay
We are all clay in the Potter’s hands
With Mary Penley
The workshop offers a practical opportunity to work with clay and see how this expressive medium can enrich our prayer. Through clay we can be drawn into a deeper awareness and understanding of our individual faith journeys.
The time spent in quietness together begins with an introduction to basic clay making techniques, which form the first part of the retreat. It is non-judgemental. What each one feels drawn to make is personal to you. No previous experience of working with clay is necessary.
