In a previous article, we spoke about the downturn in custom experienced by the Studio and, indeed, by liturgical artists generally at this time. Something is wrong and it is affecting so many livelihoods in the business of ecclesiastical supply. It is commented upon by economic analysts that when there is disturbance in the market or an economy - whatever the cause may be - people stop spending on whatever is not essential. We seem to be at such a moment.
The Church being in a troubled state, there is every reason why the Saint Bede Studio should also accept its share of hardship; it is not fitting to complain about this too much. On the other hand, at the Studio we like to think (not a delusion we hope) that by our work we are making a significant contribution to the beautification of the Sacred Liturgy and the art of the Church. We would like that contribution to continue.
Would you agree?

Perhaps you could help us to keep the business going in these difficult times :
- Enquire with us about a commission for vestments for your Parish;
- Discuss with us making a gift of vestments to a priest;
- Speak to people you know who might be interested in our work;
- Share links to our work from the Studio Facebook page;
- Pray for God’s Blessing on our Studio, so that we may continue our work.
With our thanks,
