The Dorset Art & Craft Show
Talented artists and craftworkers come together in a fabulous series of exhibitions throughout Dorset in 2008.
I wanted to let you know about a fairly new and vibrant Art and Craft show which is making it’s mark on Dorset in the UK. I know there are an awful lot of so called Craft Fairs dotted across venues in the UK almost every weekend. Some great and some not so great due to the slipping of what we classify as “Arts and Crafts” or even “handmade”. I exhibit at a lot of craft fairs throughout the year, I have learnt that quality has to be king! Handmade has to mean made by YOUR hand or those of an individual you are representing and not made by factory workers hands in a Far East manufacturing plant! It is so disappointing to see stall after stall of imported cheap (or even expensive) goods at some called craft fairs…….. And that is why I am telling you about the Dorset Art and Craft show! – a show with standards, genuine craftspeople and high quality artisan products.It’s like a breath of fresh air. Take a look at the Events page on my website to see when I’ll be exhibiting my handmade designer jewellery at these shows, or visit www.dorsetartandcraftshow.co.uk to find out more details. I’d love catch up with some of you on Sat 19th April at Digby Hall, Sherborne- free entry. x

Hi! Just wanted to thank Dawn for her kind comments about The Dorset Art & Craft Show – the series of events I have developed to run through 2008. There is such a fantastic and wide range of original work being produced across Dorset by lots and lots of clever people, so hopefully these shows will give them all a way to reach a bigger audience.
You will find the list of dates and venues on the show website – http://www.dorsetartandcraftshow.co.uk – with some details of the artists and craftworkers taking place under the exhibitor section of the site. However the site does not yet include all the wonderfully talented stallholders at our events, and there work really needs to be seen to be appreciated fully, so I hope you can find time to come along and visit us at a show date soon.
Best regards, Lindsay Anderson
Thanks Lindsay, well done for putting together such a great series of shows! Your website and brochures are lovely and your high standards on the qualiity of exhibits will mean that these shows really will stand out from the masses. I’m pleased to be involved with The Dorset Art and Craft Show and can’t wait to show my new collection at Digby Hall on Saturday 19th April.
