Join local artist Anthony Reid for Mental Mapping, a series of five creative workshops exploring Wimborne through art.

Participants will create their own individual artworks documenting a journey through Wimborne, using a medium of their choice – from sketching, drawing and painting to collage, photography and text. The workshops are open to all abilities, and you don’t need to attend every session.

Finished works will have the opportunity to be exhibited as part of a local exhibition at Wimborne Minster in December 2026.

Anthony Reid is a Wimborne-based artist with a background in sculpture, art and design technology and vernacular architecture. His practice explores our relationship with landscape and the built environment, with a particular interest in monochromatic work through sketching and photomontage.
