LITURGICAL ARTS - A VALUABLE TOOL FOR ALL CHURCHES

Renewing the spirit. Enriching the mind. Inspiring the hands.

For choristers, needleworkers, weavers, quilters and calligraphers

In its tenth year, this conference is a valuable tool for all churches. Participants not only have the opportunity to learn a craft they can enjoy for years to come,they also have the joy of creating beautiful works of art for their parishes, as well as working, sharing and playing with folks of like interests.

Morning workshops are led by some of the finest artisans in their fields.

Concentrate on one of nine areas, with each instructor employing a hands-on approach. Kits and supplies are provided by instructors at an additional cost.

Afternoons are free for working on projects or for relaxing in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. New this year, a massage therapist will be available to ease those aching shoulders.

Each day starts with a Eucharist at one of Kanuga's beautiful outdoor chapels. In the evening, the chaplain leads an evening service with meditation. The opening and closing Eucharists are unforgettable experiences — the blessing of hands before starting the work of the week, and then the blessing of the works that have been completed.
