Also exhibiting is mixed media artist Jacky Purtill who creates imaginative pieces inspired by texture, abstraction and form.

A host of exciting workshops are also available to book throughout the exhibition, run by the artists involved and giving people the chance to explore their creativity, learn new techniques and develop new skills.
