Inspired

A series of four reflections on the nature of Inspiration and Place. Four people from the worlds of art, textiles, poetry and music engage in dialogue with Rev’d Amanda Goulding.

29^th April	Alice Kettle – Textile Artist Fellow of the Royal Society of Designer Craftsmen. Creator of wall hanging embroideries, as at the Winchester Discovery Centre, and altar frontals. We regret that, due to technical problems, we were unable to make a recording of this dialogue.
6^th May	David Scott – Poet Rector of St Lawrence with St Swithun; Warden of the School of Spirituality for the Diocese of Winchester. We regret that, due to technical problems, we were unable to make a recording of this dialogue.
13^th May	Sophie Hacker – Visual Artist Visiting Tutor at Winchester School of Art and Sarum College, and Arts Exhibitions Consultant at Winchester Cathedral. This dialogue is available here to play or download. The last minute or two of the dialogue is missing from the recording. *
20^th May	Andrew Lumsden – Organist Director of Music at Winchester Cathedral; conductor and Director of Music of the Waynflete Singers. This dialogue is available here to play or download. At the end of the dialogue, Andrew Lumsden plays J.S. Bach’s fugue in E flat major, BWV522 (“St Anne”); the microphones were not well placed for the organ, but the piece is audible on the recording. *

Creator God,
the source of all our inspiration,
there is nothing good, or beautiful, or true, except you make it so.
We thank you for sharing your creative love with us.
Make us worthy of it, and enrich us all with your heavenly grace,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
