MOUTH-WATERINGLY good art has gone on display in a Dorset barn.

Young art students made super-sized treats for Dorset Arts Week based on Quality Street chocolates.

Their work, created in ArtXtra classes, is being exhibited at the Wessex Barn in Frampton.

Art teacher Jane Burden said: "Everyone had good fun creating them. A lot of hard work went into the art and there was a fun atmosphere.

"We've had a really good response so far with lots of positive feedback from visitors.

"We're hoping to put the Quality Street back out on the gate when it stops raining."

Ms Burden's porcelain casts, also on display, celebrate Sherborne House and appear to hang unsupported.

She and fellow artist Kirsten Cooke have created atmospheric black and white images also based on Sherborne House.

The exhibition also includes casts taken from Dorchester Museum and is open from 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 5pm until June 8. It is closed June 3 and 4.
