Book of Hours workshop

April 21, 2020
Book of Hours in their original formation, were intimate, private possessions that were consumed in solitude and most likely silence. They are now seen as major cultural relics of the early to late mediaeval period in Europe. According to Hayman (2017: 5) ‘they have always had the connotation of hidden treasure and have retained a special mystique’. This idea of ‘mystique’ is confirmed by the sheer artistic brilliance that are characteristic of these manuscripts. Prior to the introduction of the printing press in 1450, each manuscript was crafted by hand, each step of the process demanding resources, skills, and time.
This project is to bring the concept of the Book of Hours into the 21st century and to build upon the original intention for the Book to become part of a person’s daily routine, encouraging reflection, meditation, and an inner peace.
This project is a creative arts project that includes drawing, painting, craft, writing positive affirmation, stories of inspiration, prose, poetry, prayers (if one is religious/spiritual).
Workshop dates - Starting 23rd February -15th March, Friday Mornings from 10 -12 at Lydiate Parish Hall L31 4EQ
