The Beauty of the Cross

11–15 April 2025 (Fri–Tue)

A little teaching, a lot of listening and reflection and quite a bit of making in air dry clay, over three days, we’ll look at Strongholds, Sacrifice and Security – considering why Jesus had to come, what he did on the Cross and the security we have in him.
Absolutely no previous clay experience necessary – and open to all stages of belief or doubt.

Who's speaking?

Janey Petterson

A professional photographer for 35 years, Janey recently fell in love with clay, learning to make pieces which represent and teach the essence of spiritual truths from the Bible. Janey loves to express the heart of our Creator in a myriad of ways - marshalling and grouping shapes through the medium of song, dance, drama, photography and ceramics.
