DORSET ART WEEKS 2021
WABI SABEY FESTIVAL OF RURAL CRAFTS & TEXTILES
Why Wabi Sabey? The Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi could be simplified as "Finding beauty in the imperfect" and Sabey is Jennifer's maiden name so it seemed a fitting substitute for Sabi. Sustainability, conservation, upcycling and using environmentally friendly products are at the heart of what we do here at Hawkers Farm.
Demonstrations and activities for adults and children ran daily.

Darrell Wakelam is a Dorset based artist "I like to create an atmosphere where children of all ages feel included and important. In this safe and positive environment they are able to be imaginative and take risks."
Running with the theme of the Iron Age, Darrell will be creating large 3D art pieces. Visitors can join in for as long as they like and add to what is being created.
Although Darrell will only be in residence on Sunday 30th May, the artwork will continue during the following week.
