At: Piddle Valley First School, Piddletrenthide, Dorchester, Dorset, DT2 7QL

Organised by: Artsreach

Explore some of the amazing ‘outfits’ that British animals and birds wear; from the striking kingfisher and magpie to the shiny, frilly newt, or the stripes of a badger and spikes of a hedgehog. Transform your body into a creature of your own using a potato sack, decorating it with collage and paints. Then with clay, sticks, acorns, pinecones, sycamore helicopters and more, make a nest or a habitat for an adder, a newt, a weasel or a dormouse. Dress for mess! 

This workshop is part of the Artsreach Creative Summer Programme for Children, themed on Robert Macfarlane's book 'The Lost Words', and is suitable for ages 5+

Artsreach Dorset

Artsreach is a registered charity that brings high quality performances of live theatre, music, dance and family shows to the heart of rural communities across Dorset.

Artsreach is dedicated to providing people in rural areas with the opportunity to choose and promote professional arts events in their local venue.

Our performance programme runs through a network of around 50 volunteer promoting groups and together we organise over 140 high quality professional events every year, usually in village halls, right across rural Dorset.

Not only do our events provide the opportunity to enjoy high quality arts on your doorstep, they are also a great social occasion!

The income generated from audience members purchasing tickets plays a vital role in supporting both Artsreach as a scheme, and the community venues in which events take place, as event box offices are split between both parties.

We are an Artsmark Supporter and Arts Award Partner - do get in touch to find out how we can work together!
