PYA 2018

Purbeck Young Artists was very successful in 2018, with seventeen schools involved. The quality of the workshops results were higher than ever and the exhibition was excellent. We were able to offer students workshops that added to their skill set and we offered workshops that had not been offered previously. We had four very experienced artists on the team who ran excellent workshops based around the 2018 theme of Movement.

Community Art

Wareham Library Garden

In 2018, under the inspirational guidance of Dawn Newlove, Wareham Primary School and the Purbeck Centre made a ceramic Story Book Mural to adorn an otherwise blank wall in the refurbished garden of Wareham Library. Young people painted tiles with scenes/characters from their favourite childhood stories . . . . such a suitable theme for a library garden! Do go and admire their work and the creativity of everyone involved.

Swanage Sea Life Bench Project

In 2018, Carlotta Barrow continued the Swanage Sea Life Bench project, inspired by the constant movement of the sea and the life beneath the waves. Stone panels were prepared with a crest of a wave carved on the top to evoke the rolling waters, with pupils from The Swanage School, led by art teacher Sarah Mulhern developing their designs and carving the panels at the Burngate Stone Carving Centre. We are grateful to Lovell’s Quarry for providing the pre-cut stone panels, to Scott Taylor for carving the waves, and to the Albion Quarry for providing ‘practice’ stone as well as various sponsors – notably the AONB (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The completed panels have been placed alongside the garden path overlooking Swanage pier.
