Dorset shops- Harris's of Dorchester

ENTER YOUR EMAIL ON THE RIGHT FOR YOUR DAILY DOSE OF DORSET


Forget that Porsche...what really makes an arty-types's heart beat faster is a well stocked, voluptuous art shop, and they don't come more voluptuous than Harrises of Dorchester. 
It is an exuberant, eclectic and eccentric riot of a shop and if anyone was ever tasked with stocktaking, they must have shot themselves long ago. 
If there's no method there's certainly a deal of of madness; doll's eyeballs jostle with pom poms, glitter sparkles beside ersatz diamonds and rubies (I think they're fake..), gouache vies with oils, inks, balsa and battle ships and that's just the ground floor taken care of. Upstairs is weavers nirvanah and spinner's paradise while finally should you fancy a bit of soul saving rather than soul searching  there is a well stocked room of Christian literature and DVD's (obviously...)
