The first annual Liturgical Arts Conference will be held in Sewanee, Tennessee on May 30th, 2026.

St. Augustine’s Altar Guild of All Saints’ Chapel will host a liturgical arts conference featuring Marianna Garthwaite Klaiman, an expert in the field of church textiles. Marianna will offer a presentation in the morning covering many aspects of our church vestments, including their history and specific information about care and restoration.

The afternoon will be devoted to a hands-on workshop where participants will make a padded hanger suitable for use with heavy vestments. The fee for the conference is $50 per person and includes lunch and all materials for the workshop. Space is limited to 100 participants, so register early!
