Art Retreat Day | Seeking the Face of Jesus | Val & Mark Turner | 24 Jul 2026

Seeking the Face of Jesus

”Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” — 2 Corinthians 3:16-18

Working on improving skills of portrait drawing using a variety of media whilst focussing on finding a closer walk with Jesus

Join Val and Mark Turner at The Wellspring for a retreat day seeking a closeness with Jesus through examining scripture on our relationship with Him and practical focus on learning portraiture skills. This Art Retreat day is aimed at those who are disciples of Jesus wanting to draw closer in their relationship with Him.

Numbers will be limited to 12 due to layout constraints for arts and craft days.
