The journey and not just the destination?
Well we’ve all read those words and they are as true in art as in life. Honestly! The painting of a picture or the carving of a sculpted form – the actual DOING of it is as rewarding as the finished piece. Trust me!
And that’s why we brought back the PAW Pop Up studio at Rollington Barn for another year.
So after your relaxed viewing of the wonderful work from our Purbeck artists in the exhibition, you could emerge into the sunlight, select a chair, a piece of cake and watch a painter transform a blank piece of paper into their vision of Kimmeridge Bay. A sculptor take single pieces of wire and create a kneeling human form. Or a potter start with a lump of mud – for that is what clay is – and on their wheel, shape a bowl perfect for your lunchtime salad.
All so you could share in the journey that will inspire you to start your own.
We hope you enjoyed your visit.
