Who are your role models when it comes to creating as a Christian?

I find Rouault an inspiration for the way he combines compassion and critique, Chagall for the way in which reconciliation informs every aspect of his work from content through to construction, Albert Herbert for the freedom and depth of his style and imagery, Norman Adams for the vibrancy of his use of colour, and John Reilly for the way in which he depicts the oneness and unity of God’s invisible power binding all things into one whole.

Does anyone have examples of churches using art in the community, either for outreach or to encourage working in partnership with other organisations?

Our church, King’s Church, Uckfield, has either a float or a walking part in the Uckfield Carnival each year. It is a recognised part of our outreach and we always give out Alpha invitations which are linked with our theme of the year. We encourage everyone to be involved in some way, though not everyone can walk. This year we had very colourful yellow, orange and red costumes and did lots of dancing and singing.

does anyone print limited edition prints using a ink jet printer if so what printer? What paper? What ink? What cost. I ask because i saw an artist using a inkjet but with special containers of special ink and water colour type paper. Even if you dont yourself anyone know of a printer capable of doing a high quality job. And who supplies and rough idea of cost of printer/ I know its a lot of questions but thought someone might know.
