Welcome to the Dowry Workshop
Specialists in medieval and gothic revival liturgical art
Drawing inspiration from original examples of medieval vestments, as well as gothic revival art, the Dowry Workshop aims to revive composition and handicraft in liturgical design, and to unit artists and craftsmen to produce beautiful and well made vestments.
Our craftsmen work to combine clearness of form and firmness of structure with the mystery that comes of abundance and richness of detail. We believe that all churches should have the opportunity to exhibit beauty in their worship, and we aim to make our work accessible to the widest range of budgets.
