Visit the Labyrinth in the grounds of Caterham’s oldest building

Labyrinths date back to Greek mythology but became prominent in Christian worship in Medieval times. The best known example is in Chartres Cathedral.
A labyrinth is not a puzzle with false trails (a maze) but the path follows a single sinuous route from the outside to the centre and back again.
It is conjectured that a labyrinth was a form of pilgrimage,- people would stop to pray and meditate at various points.
The traditional labyrinth has 7 or 9 rings, whereas ours has only four.
The boundaries of the path will be long grass with only the paths mown on a regular basis.
An image of the labyrinth with a brief explanation will be posted near the vestry.

Metal point engraving was practiced for pictures for newspapers and magazines.  It is an easily accessible way to learn the techniques of wood engraving and woodcut, without great expense, but still achieving great results!

Start with a plate covered in black, and engrave the areas that you want left white. The resulting black and white picture on the plate can be framed up and is almost indistinguishable from a true wood engraving or wood cut.

If you like drawing and are fascinated by black and white, then this class is for you. The engraving results are instant and rewarding involving no inks or papers. At the end of the class, your metal point engraving can be mounted on card ready for you to take home and ready for you to show off your newly found skills!

Metal point engraving is suitable for those who have a range of abilities including the complete beginners.
