Dorset Art Weeks taster event

Our taster event was a huge success and our customers certainly seemed to enjoy the beautiful art displayed and in particular chatting to the artists themselves.   There was one piece of work in particular that caused quite a stir – the model of Her Majesty the Queen, complete with accompanying Corgi!! It was very funny to see people do a double take when they passed her!  Totally made from paper mache the full size model was a big hit!!

On Saturday 12 May we held a series of in-house demonstrations which were really enjoyable and informative and each of the 5 artists drew a big crowd of admiring onlookers as you can see from these photos.    On Sunday 13th local artist Sue Hardy took on the task of designing a cow collage with the help of visiting children which was great fun.  There is still a little work to be done on the collage but hopefully once it is finished it will be displayed here at the Garden Centre….. watch this space for more details!

Dorset Arts Weeks starts on 26th May and runs until 10th June.  Brochures are still available here but please contact Anne Hitchcock at info@sladecentre.co.uk for more information.

Orchard Park would like to thank all the artists who displayed their work and gave their time to us and our customers.
