Children can let their imagination run free at a drawing festival in Dorchester. 

Local artists will be gathering at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester to offer a day of drawing activities for children on Sunday September 29.

From 10am to 3pm, children can explore a wide range of artistic creations including kaleidoscopes and monoprint monsters. They can also enjoy drawing with wool, timed drawing games, 3D balancing drawing and much more. 

Artists at the event will be Lucy Newnham, Nadine Shaban, Fronde Crennell, Fran Quinlan, Louise Riley, Claire Nutall, Harriet Peacock and Jo Burlington.

The free event is organised by Oops Wow Messy Art - an organisation based in Bridport which organises messy processed based art sessions for young children and families.

All are welcome to attend although children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. No booking is required.
