  • Projective Geometry
    An introduction to Modern Sense Free Thinking
    Do parallel lines ever meet? In Projective Geometry they do, at infinity. They lead us through simple line drawings into a realm of beauty and new possibilities for intuitive thinking where sense and spirit touch creative forces that lie within all of 8 sessions beginning Friday 25 January 8:00 to 9:30 pm
    Stroud, Glos, UK
    Cost £80

  • Moving the Imagination
    Projective Geometry and Spatial Dynamics
    7.30 pm Friday 11 – 12.30 pm Sunday 13 April
    Do parallel lines ever meet? In Projective Geometry they do, at infinity. They lead us (through simple line drawings) into a realm of beauty and new possibilities for intuitive thinking where sense and spirit touch. This work together will be accompanied by Spatial Dynamics, a form of movement in which the imaginations brought to us through this modern geometry can lead into an experience of recreative forces that move within the three planes of space. With Warren Lee Cohen and Paul Matthews.

  • Fire and Bread (click here for pictures of past bread baking workshops)
    9:00 to 4:00 Sunday 4 May
    We’ll bake a variety of naturally leavened sourdough breads in the wood-fired clay oven that I built with the students at the Wynstones Steiner School. Baking bread can be fun and easy using only flour (spelt, wholemeal and rye), water, salt and sourdough. You’ll learn how to make and use your own sourdough culture to take home along with plenty of fresh bread and inspiration for future baking.
    Tuition £50 including all ingredients

  • Art of bread (click here for pictures of past bread baking workshops)
    7.30 pm Friday 16 – 2 pm Sunday 18 May
    7:30 pm Friday 13 – 2 pm Sunday 15 June
    Come explore the art of baking bread in our own wood-fired, clay oven. Taking the baking process from start to finish, experience the differences between naturally leavened and yeasted doughs, between hearth fired and oven baked loaves. We’ll investigate the aspects of baking that create healthy and nutritious bread and, of equal importance that allow for joy and meaning in the baking process. We’ll touch upon the history and lore of bread as it has arisen in sacred, secular and artistic ways. We’ll learn how to make a natural sourdough starter and bake wheat, rye and spelt loaves from it. For our grand finale we’ll create pitas and pizzas in the wood fired oven.
