shaping the flame is a unique publication inspired by the artistry that is central to life in Camphill communities in which co-workers live and work alongside people with learning difficulties.
Most of the text by Bob Clay (Camphill, Loch Arthur) is in poetic form and is accompanied by lavish artwork and illustration. The book takes the reader on a 'creative journey through the year', covering seasonal activities, festivals and a wide variety of superb craft work.
With a Foreword by the composer, Sir John Tavener, this title makes a superb gift.
Above is a selection of the many wonderful illustrations from shaping the flame.
...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. Its a beautiful production.
