Watercolour Book and Originals on Sale

(Price Reduction)

Strong links have been made between Durham and Paris/Versailles as a result of our musicians’ touring there in 2008 and 2009. A Parisian artist, Benoît Roman D’Amat, has produced some lovely contemporary watercolour pictures of Durham, which have been made into a delightful booklet, Strolls around Historic Durham, with historical notes. These are on sale in the Cathedral shop for £5, or by post from the Chapter Office, The College, Durham DH1 3EH (cheques to DCCA for £6.50 inc p&p).

An exhibition was staged of the original watercolours used in the book in July, in the Galilee Chapel. This was a very successful event, and more than half of the original paintings were sold. However we still have paintings for sale, some which were included in the book, as well as others. They are in specially-made oak frames with triple mounts, and are on sale for a reduced price of £99 each. They can be seen  here If you would like to buy one, please e-mail dcca@durhamcathedral.co.uk
