A BIG summer arts and crafts exhibition at Batley Art Gallery will showcase the work of artists from North Kirklees.

The exhibition, which runs for three weeks from July 18, will feature contemporary and traditional art including digital artworks, painting and photography to textiles, jewellery and ceramics.

All the artists involved are supported by Loca, Kirklees Council’s arts and regeneration agency.

It is an exhibition which offers a huge range of ideas for what to hang on your walls from the mixed media pieces of painter and textile artist Carrie Scott-Huby to the elegant two and three dimensional wire sculptures and illustrations of Helaina Sharpley.

Show cabinets will display textiles and ceramics by Jane Platts who specialises in recycling unloved textiles and breathing new life into them.

There will also be a range of hand-made silver jewellery by designer and maker Pam Lonsdale.

The gallery, on the first floor of Batley Library, is open Monday and Wednesday between 9.30am and 7pm; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 9.30am and 5pm and on Saturday between 9am and 4pm. Admission is free.
