Designing, drawing, and painting a canvas labyrinth is a big job. While it can be done singlehandedly, a community effort can offer a multitude of benefits, from the teaching of new skills to the deepening of friendships — not to mention being able to finish the job more quickly! The new canvas labyrinth for Woodbrooke has been a long time in the planning, from room-measuring to paint choosing and canvas-ordering, but finally a group of willing workers assembled in Bourneville for a long weekend of labyrinth-making under the direction of Jan Sellers and Jeff Saward. Over the course of four days, and amidst simultaneous and spontaneous outbursts of individual labyrinth creativity, a 6.5 metre canvas went from this:
to this
to this:
through this
to this:
And a good time was had by all!
May all those who walk this beautiful labyrinth be blessed on their journeys.
With love, from all of us
and the frogs
This is such a beautiful community project, from start to finish and every brush stroke in-between! Love the frog!
