Artist Talk at the Lettering Arts Centre: The Village Gravestone Maker
We are drawn to capture a memory. For centuries, we have commemorated and mourned the passing of lives through memorials. Presenting a time capsule of beautiful memorials drawn and carved by hand by leading letter carvers, this exhibition will show how individual lives can be celebrated with sensitive design and beautiful lettering. The exhibition is designed to uplift and to prompt us to consider how we would like to be remembered.
We will present the working drawings and designs of lettering artists, as well as original works from our Art & Memory collection. Among the exhibits on display will be the memorial artwork created with the running vest of Stephen Lawrence, kindly loaned by the Lawrence family.
Join Rachel at the Chelsea Physic Garden for a talk and demonstration of her work designing and carving artworks such as her 'A Laughing Pomegranate' created for our exhibition 'An Elixir of Letters'. She will take guests on a guided tour of all the works on display in the Garden. While the talk is free on entry to the Garden, please reserve your place here www.chelseaphysicgarden.co.uk/Event/an-elixir-of-letters-talk-and-tour-with-rachel-gundry .
