RNLI - Dartmouth Lifeboat Station Appeal

During the 'Fawley Court' exhibition, (see above), Francesca Dimond raised money for the RNLI Dartmouth lifeboat station. In return for a donation of any size visitors were invited to put a pebble into one of the 'Beacon' sculptures in celebration of the lives saved at sea, or in remembrance of a loved one.
£ 129.64 was raised over the weekend, and this was then presented to Dartmouth Lifeboat Station which has been opened since November last year. They are still raising money to purchase a new 'D Class' Lifeboat. Please follow the link above to find out more and to make donations.

Sculpting at the Forge
Dordogne, France

Francesca Dimond is available to run short workshops for small groups (2-4) on request throughout the year from her studio at 'La Taillade', Molieres in south west France.  The course will cover basic forging, designing, cutting and welding techniques, to create small sculptures.  Frequent trips to the UK will mean that your sculpture or piece of work can be transported back to the UK.  Each course will be tailored to the students requirements. 

Flights to Bergerac, (40 mins from the studio) are available from several UK airports.
