Studio Arts have begun work on their project in partnership with the Carlisle Cathedral!
They are creating mixed media work which will transform the Cathedral Well into a place of rest and relaxation.
Our artists are learning and refining creative techniques, spending time getting to know, and being inspired by the Cathedral while developing their ideas.
Keep an eye out for updates, this work will be open to the public in Carlisle Cathedral this summer!
