Dorset Arts & Crafts Showcase 2024
Friday 2nd - Tuesday 6th August
Purbeck School, Wareham BH20 4PF
Come and be inspired by the skill and creativity of Dorset Arts & Crafts.
The main hall in Purbeck School hosts the largest sales gallery in Dorset with work by
members of the Dorset Arts & Crafts Association. It's the place to find that perfect
present or souvenir of your holiday. All the art, craft and photography in main hall is
for sale and can be taken away on day of purchase.
Showcase 2024 also features our Open Art, Craft and Photography competitions.
There are over 20 different craft sections including - beadwork, jewellery, lace,
recycling, patchwork and quilting, spinning and weaving, pottery and woodwork.
Probably the largest variety of craft in one place in Dorset.
This year we have 2 guest exhibitions -
Work in Wood - 9 invited Dorset artists and craftspeople exhibit a wide range of skills
in wood.
Photography by Dorchester Camera Club - a mix of photographic prints and an audio
visual photography exhibition.
There is the opportunity to meet the makers in our art and craft stall areas.
Let the youngsters 'have-a-go' in our Children's Workshops. Advanced booking is not necessary, there is a nominal charge per workshop activity to cover material costs.
Free entry to the Showcase for children.
There's free parking, disabled access throughout and refreshments available in the
cafe.
The Dorset Arts & Crafts Showcase is organised by the Dorset Arts & Crafts Association
and further details can be found at www.dorsetartsandcrafts.org.
