Hide AdWith such a wide variety of creativity produced by the Hutton Buscel Artists, there will be something for everyone including the kids who have an opportunity to become part of their group art installation.
Alan Hunt said, “As a group we always produce a joint art installation to run along side our annual exhibition and we got such great feedback from our painted pebbles hunt last year, that we decided to run it again this year”.
"All visitors have to do for this free event is to collect a map of the village from the exhibition at the village hall. If you are lucky enough to find a painted pebble, it is effectively a piece of free art from this talented bunch.

Diane Todd said: “We heard last year, that one of our pebbles made it as far as France, and that’s the joy of becoming part of this art installation, when the pebbles go off on a journey beyond the village once found, plus its something the whole family can get involved with.
“In addition to the hunt, we also have free pebble painting for the kids where we provide all the materials needed. So there’s little chance of boredom coming from our younger visitors”.
