shaping the flame
Foreword by Sir John Taverner
'shaping the flame' is both a celebration and a journey. It celebrates the creativity of the children, young people and adults of the Camphill Movement which has brought hope, joy and love into the lives of people around the world, especially those with special needs. It takes us on a creative journey through the natural cycle of the year, the arts and crafts, and the seasonal Christian festivals, weaving a tapestry of peotic musings and visual images - inviting us to experience something of the life in Camphill communities and to explore and share in a vision which can enliven and inspire our lives.
A stunningly presented and inspirational book that offers us the chance to reflect upon the world around us.
“...The pictures, like music in song, are equal or even dominant partners with the text. Imagination and skill go hand in hand in the layout of the pages, the pictures, the lettering. It’s a beautiful production.”
