Eric Gill Sculptor

Hidden Gems in Bradford

3.30 pm Saturday 2 November at 3.30pm

St Cuthbert's Church, Wilmer Road, BRADFORD BD9 4RX

Eric Gill was at the peak of his fame in the 1930s when he agreed to help his friend Father John O'Connor to make some sculptures for St Cuthbert's RC church. There are 16 examples of his work in the church and there will be a unique opportunity for people to view them and hear about the sculptor himself from an expert, Rev Graham Kent. Graham, a Methodist minister, studied Eric Gill and wrote his thesis about him.

Refreshments will be served afterwards.

Calverley's Young Potters

The children of the Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club, and a couple of Dads too, turned their hand to pottery, when we created the animals that went into the Ark. The figures were air-dried then fired to bisque, and then they were painted and glazed and re-fired. How do you like the results? Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club at Calverley Methodist Church has developed into a group of 3 to 8 year olds (and mums and dads too) who meet on the first Saturday of the month and cook and craft stories from the Bible.
