Who Are We? |
|||||||||||||
|
Four years ago 5 of us Dorset artists got together with the aim of opening a small art and craft gallery near Dorchester. Winterborne Monkton's old village school became the focus for our dream. We renovated the building inside and out, fitted it with new lights and a hanging system, and opened in time for Easter 2002. Since then our team has grown and changed and we have added other events to our activities at the Gallery, including festivals and tuition. You can read about our plans for 2005 here
on our site, find out about our team and see what happened in years
past. We'd love to hear from you, and to welcome you to our Gallery if you have time to visit us. We're only a stone's throw from Dorchester and Weymouth and can almost always offer you a cuppa if you're passing by! We hope you'll call in and see us. |
Monkton Gallery is now closed
until Easter 2006.
Bank Holiday Events We have staged many different events at the Gallery. These have included themed exhibitions reflecting subjects like the Jurassic Coast and changing seasons. We also have hosted pottery workshops, Bronze Age pit firings and Raku events. We will be running more of these this year over the Bank Holidays. Click here for ...
