Artist-in-residence Naomi Hart is coming to the priory to deliver one of her engaging, inspiring and enlightening workshops.
Designed with community participation in mind, you’ll be working on a giant community painting of the River Exe, and looking at some of the medicinal and useful plants in a little more detail, with drawings and descriptions, including oak gall ink, which would have been used for mediaeval manuscripts.
The workshop forms part of the priory’s Benedictine Days event, and will touch upon the Benedictine nun Hildegard von Bingen and her knowledge of herbs, and expertise in music and art.
Naomi Hart says: “My work looks at human interaction with the environment, especially issues around journey, elements, water and memory. My practice is multimedia and multidisciplinary, using drawing, paint, photography, sculpture, installation, walking, performance and sound to investigate the world.”
Cost: £12
