West Dorset Residents' Week

Theatre, Talks, Demos


Sat 17th  Parnham Voices directed by John Mingay. 7.30pm St Michaels Church

April 23rd - 25th (Fri - Sun)  Mixed Media Art Workshop with Julie Oldfield  The workshop uses unusual material combinations, such as sea water, sand and, in particular, iridescent paints and pastels across textural surfaces. Inspired by distant horizons and the play of light across the wide open spaces along the Dorset coast, the technique uniquely brings out the shifting effects of colour, light and shade on canvas.  At Monkton Wyld Court:  residential or non-residential  click on http://www.julieoldfield.com  or www.monktonwyldcourt.co.uk
