ACCLAIMED art featuring ceramic flowers and woolly creations goes on show at an Oldbury studio’s open day.
Creative Arts, in Cyprus Street, is encouraging people along to find out more about what it does when it throws its doors open on Friday, June 23 from 11am-3pm.
The community arts team was behind the ceramic flower exhibition which won a top honour from the Royal Horticultural Society’s Britain in Bloom Award in the It’s Your Neighbourhood category.
Also on show is an exhibition called The Pull of Wool which features photos of people knitting in unusual locations.
Sandwell Council-run Creative Arts, which provides day opportunities for people with disabilities, set up the project last year with arts organisation Creative Black Country.
More than 500 people from a range of community and education groups across the Black Country helped make the magical ceramic garden featuring 1,200 beautiful hand-made ceramic flowers and 500 mini beasts.
Some of the flowers will be on sale during the open day when there will also be crafts stalls, music from the George Formby tribute act, refreshments and a raffle.
