CHARITY DRAW FOR UNIQUE ARTWORK LAUNCHED

Cllr Robin Cook, Chairman of East Dorset District Council, has launched a prize draw to support his chosen charities, the Alzheimer’s Society and The Friends of Victoria Hospital Wimborne. Entries at £2 each will give a chance of winning a unique piece of artwork by local Silk Weaver, Debby Kirby, who is based at Walford Mill Crafts, Wimborne.

After recently taking up cycling, Debby’s husband Jez, documents in pictures his travels around the Dorset countryside. His aim is to capture a moment in time – light, the movement of water and the changing seasons, are all points of inspiration to him.

This results in a great catalogue of images, from which Debby selects those that inspire her and she dyes the silk threads to complement each piece. Every picture is therefore individual, as this is a process that cannot be replicated. This collaboration has provided Debby with a new appreciation of the landscape and a very different way of incorporating photography into textiles.

The picture you could win is of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, donated by Debby and framed courtesy of Lorraine from Wimborne Picture Framing.

Cllr Cook said ‘A big thank you to Debby, Jez, and Lorraine for their support for these two very worthy charities.’

Tickets will be on sale at various venues or contact Robin on 07968 265897.  The draw will take place on 7thMarch 2015.
