ARTWORKS by local artists will go on display at two village exhibitions in November.
Flights of Fancy features the work of Linda Caven and Judy Haslam-Jones, who have explored the theme of birds through drawing, ceramics and recycled materials.
They promise an eclectic mix of fine drawings, imaginative bird vessels, brooches and assemblage – and have also teased ‘a tower of amusing hens’.
The exhibition runs on Tuesdays to Saturdays (10am-5.30pm) throughout November at Fosse House Gallery in Dunchurch. Visitors can meet the artists on Sunday November 10 (11.30am-2.30pm).
Judy will also take part in New Perspectives, which takes place at Barby Village Hall on Saturday November 3 and Sunday November 4 (10am-5pm).
She will showcase some of her unusual decorative ceramics alongside metal sculptures from recycled materials by Jack Kirk, and traditional and abstract watercolour and oil paintings by Winifred Wilmot.
Refreshments will be provided by the Barby Church Group.
