to the heart through art
Here, creativity meets Christ to cultivate devotion and heartful expression of faith.
We provide the Catholic faithful across Sydney with the tools for creative expression of their faith; from workbooks to accessible and beautiful handmade Rosaries, for the uplifting of hearts to God. With custom orders, workshops and Parish stalls, we make the perfect aids in prayer for those undertaking the Sacraments, or simply wishing to deepen devotion.
Part proceeds of all sales are directly contributed to the support of the Catholic Church and her mission - from helping the Souls in Purgatory by Holy Mass offerings, to donations to local Catholic Parishes.
Send us an email enquiry to liftedheartsworkshop@gmail.com and we’ll work with you to set up a regular Parish piety stall featuring Rosaries, Rosary decades and creative, faith-based workbooks.
We’ll work to understand your Parish’s requirements (including Sacrament or relevant occasion notes) and provide details on our stall process within a meeting.
Our handmade, Holy Rosary decades are what we call ‘sacramentals’; instruments that support you in building your beliefs and faithful observance of Catholicism. Any holy item should be used respectfully and reverently; with love and care. Our decades can be used to support devotional prayers and other professions of faith.
They can be used to pray ‘ad lib’ personal petitions, pray the Holy Rosary or request intercession to the saints. They can even simply be held during Masses or Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Whenever and wherever you pray, our handmade decades encourage Catholic devotions; asking for the intercession of saints and the observance of praying the Holy Rosary as requested by Our Lady.
Each decade is dedicated to a cause or a saint of the Church.
lifted hearts connects heartfelt emotion with creative expression; lifting up our hearts and arts for the furthering of faith, hope and love in this world.Our core values are Christ-centeredness, Community and Creativity.
Having always had a special love for notes and nouns, musician and poet, I.W melds music and words in her creative collection, 'Love Notes: Poetry & Prose'.
A book about rhythm and romance, it journeys a relationship from first meeting to final goodbye in 94 pages of courage and contemplation.
'Love Notes' encompasses universal themes of self-acceptance, love, loss and music, aiming to impart that feeling of love we all deeply desire and sparking the memory of something special in your heart. It makes the perfect gift for the creative romantic.
For all the faithful and those seeking God in turbulent times, creativity is an often ignored expression of the heart.
From an exploration of intellect behind creative action, to reframing perspectives, Heart Work, a self-development book for Catholics, highlights creativity as a means of connection to Christ and evangelisation to others; a state of mind rather than a hobby. Through in depth detail and guided exercises, we’ll help you find your best-suited creative expression and connect it to God; furthering your faith.
This resource proves invaluable to both the budding artist and curious Catholics, exploring topics like, using creative action against sin; technology’s role in imagination; Saints and artist testimonials; the heart and art of creative composition; and a guided step by step scaffold to creating your own major piece of Heartwork.
