The Chichester Workshop presents discussions with leading liturgical art practitioners and scholars from around the world, addressing issues that are central for traditional worship and for the proclamation of divine beauty in a world hungry for meaning.
Commissioning church art and architecture
All church art begins with a commissioner. The effectiveness of what is eventually made depends not only on the skill and theological insight of the craftsperson, but on the quality of the commissioner’s brief. We interview two priests and an artist to discover what makes a good brief.
Sacred imagery: distraction or doorway?
We address some of the theological questions regarding Christian imagery: should we have it, and what is its relation to other artforms? Cathedral Treasurer Vanessa Baron chairs the panel of cathedral Precentor Revd. Dr Dan Inman, Dr Jim Blackstone, Dr Caroline Farey, and Aidan Hart.
