Hawkers Farm was proud to be part of Dorset Art Weeks for the past two years.

 

Dorset Art Weeks 2022

​

SUSTAINABLE FASHION, TEXTILES,  EMBROIDERY & ART

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.  

• Mending, redesigning and embellishing clothing

• Making nettle fibre

• 3D Art from upcycled materials

• Iron Age Crafts

• Monoprinting inspired by nature

• Natural dyeing

• Basket weaving

• Wool Crafts

​​

Hand embroidered gifts were available to buy in aid of Sambhali Trust

The next Dorset Arts Weeks will be in 2024
