Perched above the sea in the ancient fishing hamlet of Bucks Mills, North Devon, the Cabin was the studio and summer residence of painters Judith Ackland and Mary Stella Edwards from the 1920s until Judith's death in 1971. The interior and its contents have remained preserved, almost as the women left them, for over 40 years.
Exodus 31:1-5 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.
The artist hand, the crafter’s skill,
Employed according to your will
Creates, designs a lasting place
Where there your people raise their praise.
To each a talent, Lord, you give
There to employ each day we live;
An aptitude, of eye or hand
To use according to your plan.
Creation’s skill with me you share
And teach me too to use with flair
The inner artist quality
As by your hand you work with me.
Lord, help me use this gifts right here
And not to bury, but to share
In the completion of your aim,
The work of art that bears your name.
