Photographic exhibition

I had the privilege of manning the Gallery again this afternoon which gave me the opportunity to view the new exhibition for April.

Colin Preston is a photographer based on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border and several of his photographs in his exhibition are of local scenes - One of the first things that was very noticeable was the stunning colours in these striking landscapes.

This is Colin's first ever exhibition, I hope it won't be his last and I wish him every success as he continues with his photographic journey

Jo Hill has to be one of our most hard working members, her textile work is proving to be very popular especially her 'twitter' pictures. But I can't see this hare picture staying long on our gallery walls at all, may be this will be the first of many more hares!
