SIX artists will be bursting out of their studios to present their work in a pre-Christmas exhibition at Frogmarsh Mill, South Woodchester this weekend.
The show brings together the work of textiles artist Petey Alliston, potter Annie Hewett, painters Kate Loveday and Shireen Morris, jeweller Tessa Tyldesley and ceramicist Cleo Mussi.
The work of all of the artists shares a lightness of touch and a love of colour.
Pictured are works by Cleo Mussi who won the first Stroud Arts Award.
In her pieces she explores construction and deconstruction. She breaks things and then combines them with contrasting objects that complement them.
A broken Staffordshire figure might be combined with a cheap piece of modern pottery; or a scrap of an antique Japanese pot with a broken plate from the 1950s.
Cleo said: "I unite an object with something it would never usually be united with. It is to do with visual connections but people can see what they want to see in my pieces. I like to show how something old can be transformed into something with a different value."
The exhibition takes place at Frogmarsh Mill, South Woodchester, on Saturday November 17 and Sunday November 18, 10am-5pm.
