Think Frink at museum workshops

People who were born deaf have been exploring the work of Elisabeth Frink at Dorset Museum ahead of an exhibition in December. The Meeting Frink project draws on some of the themes Frink explored in her work including spirituality and faith, human rights, and Frink’s garden as her gallery.

Dorset Deaf Activities Group (DDAG) members built their confidence and skills through a series of workshops, and artwork created by the group included a large mural inspired by Frink’s garden, artist sketchbooks and 3D sculptures. The work will be on show as part of the Elisabeth Frink: A View from Within exhibition, opening in December. Another community project at the museum, entitled Fashioning our World (fashioningour world.org.uk), involved young people looking at

An incredible combination of art and crafts has been put together by three very different artists for an exhibition at Eype Centre for the Arts from August 28-September 3.

Jenny Penney, who creates relief sculpted landscapes and drawings, textile artist Sarah

Bramwell and ceramicist Diana Parker have got together to put on Three Pairs of Hands, open 10am to 4pm each day.

Jenny uses just a scalpel and card to create very distinctive pictures of Dorset’s fabulous landscape and birds. Sarah has a real passion for the heritage crafts, many of her works are based on museum pieces. She enjoys creating works through the intricacy of Shetland lace, the colours of Fair Isle work and the tactile nature of leather work. Diana throws porcelain and stoneware on her wheel and creates a fabulous selection of perfect gifts, pictured here, from ceramic bowls and jugs to beautiful little animals. During the exhibition there will be daily demonstrations from some aspect of the artists’ work.
