Event Description
The artists in residence here in Santa Sabina House have very graciously agreed to share their creations with the staff, the Pastoral Care Team, and each other. The works on display were all produced by the residents themselves and range from watercolour and pencil sketching to crochet and knitting. Many are the work of residents who, busy with work and other pursuits in the past, are only now taking the time to indulge their creative side. The paintings and sketches on show are based on our surroundings, specifically our beautiful gardens where there is always something wonderful to paint. The collection of woollen crafts, the blanket and shawl, represent a larger collection, made in-house by residents for residents, and serve a practical, as well as an aesthetic, purpose. Also on view in our exhibition are photographic samples of some of the other artistic activities undertaken in Santa Sabina House: a recent Whodunit! where we got into ‘character’ to play our part in solving a heinous crime, or on a lighter note, a display of our interpretation of the fashions of stars of stage, screen, and literary world.
