13th Century Sacred Art Class

Gwyneth Holston · November 14, 2013

GWYN_gothic drawing AVID CLAYTON, Thomas More College Artist-in-Residence, will be offering a four-day sacred art class at Thomas More College from Monday to Thursday during the Spring Break, March 10-13. The cost to those from outside the college is $525 for the four days, and includes all materials (for egg tempera painting), tuition, lunch, and a lecture in the evening. For and additional $15 per day dinner can be included. There is a local hotel that offers favorable rates to those connected to TMC and has a free shuttle to and from the campus.

Students will study the English gothic style that is often described as the school of St Albans. Its leading artist in the 13th century was a monk called Matthew Paris. Typical images are similar to those found in the Westminster Psalter.

If you have any questions or would like to sign up for the class, contact David Clayton through his blog, The Way of Beauty.

    Weeping For Joy! (We Hope!)
    Listening to this Easter Alleluia—an SATB arrangement I made twenty years ago based on the work of Monsignor Jules Van Nuffel—one of our readers left this comment: “I get tears in my eyes each time I sing to this hymn.” I hope this person is weeping for joy!

Random Quote

Never before have men had so many time-saving devices. Yet, never before have they had so little free time. When the world unnecessarily accelerates, the Church must slow down.
