A Thousand Sheep...


The River Bourne Community would love to offer more opportunities for all to engage with Art.

In order to do so, we need to know what you want;


 Is there any skills you have always wanted to learn, anything you know and would like to share, ideas for an art/carft project that you have but don't know how to start?

 whether you like quilting,dyeing, spinning,  knitting, painting, foraging, cooking, baking, bread making, sculpting, collecting, walking, running, talking or listening, you might not have thought of combining activities.

 Come and take part in this fun game and tell  us who you really are!, 

 I will be running a fun open public consultation for you at the farm during the opening times of the Salisbury Art trail from Saturday 5th to 13th of October.

 Please come and let us know what art activities you would like to see/take part in/learn...

 I will be on site on Saturday for a drop in workshop
 and on Monday and Tuesday 10 to 2.30. You can also drop in anytime during the week and take part in your own time.

 If you wish , you can tell us your ideas online in this blog or email info@laurencerushbyart.co.uk
