A TOUCHY-feely exhibition for people with disabilities or sight problems is being held at Highcliffe Castle.

The mixed media display by members of CADArts – Christchurch and District Arts Council – runs at the Castle until May 27.

And although it is open to everyone, young and old, it has been designed to encourage visitors, including the visually impaired and people with other disabilities, to touch the exhibits.

Entries include a selection of African masks by students at Bournemouth Collegiate School as well as textured paintings, woodcraft, pottery and a diverse range of textiles including a talking wasp.

CADArts will be offering a free textile workshop for the visually impaired on Wednesday May 16 at Highcliffe Castle.

Contact Brenda Weeks on 01202 428004 to book a place or for more information.

There will also be demonstrations of lace making, ceramics, jewellery, calligraphy and embroidery taking place throughout the exhibition.
