Open Exhibition 2013
Featuring works by over 40 artists from the north of England, the selected exhibition features a stunning selection of textiles, ceramics, jewellery and glass in a wealth of materials. All items are for sale, with prices from £18 upwards. The Open Exhibition has proved hugely popular and this year features an exceptionally high standard and diversity of work.
On the 27th April prizes were awarded for the Selectors Prize, Ann Marie O Brien winning £100 for innovation and Jan Lord winning the Ribble Valley Prize, for a craftmaker living / working from the Ribble Valley winning £50. Micaela Schoop was also awarded a Highly Commended Award for her multi media piece.
When you visit take the opportunity to vote for your favorite piece in the exhibition so that you and the most popular artist can win a prize!
