Art angels plan Covid-safe nativity – Diocese of Gloucester. Children in Redbrook have started planning a Covid-safe nativity to bring hope and joy to their local community.
They are making tie-dye costumes and will be filming at a Redbrook Farm. This project, which is supported by the Mid-Wyedean Churches, and led by Mari Hutchings and Claudia Peake, has allowed children to learn and develop their artistic skills over lockdown and to take part in creative projects to make their communities smile. Earlier in the year they held exhibitions of their work and over 200 people visited. Sue Sparkes, Parish churchwarden, was one of them: “I found it inspirational.
It was a really good project: very inventive, creative and well structured. Mari describes how the inside of the church was transformed for the exhibition: “Some of the families cleaned, others bought vases of flowers. This was a moment when it became clear we had done God’s work.” Redbrook Art Angels continue to meet weekly via Zoom. *protected email* , Claudia Peake cloudypeake@hotmail.co.uk.
