A County Durham gallery that has provided a platform to hundreds of craftspeople and artists from across the region is celebrating its 25th birthday.
The Glass & Art Gallery in Consett, will mark the occasion with a weekend of special events starting at 11am on Friday (August 30) with a visit by local author Yvonne Vincent, creator of the acclaimed book series 'The Losers Club'.
Founded by renowned stained glass artist Maralyn O’Keefe and her husband Ron in 1999, the National Tourist Attraction in an end-of-terrace house in the town's Medomsley Road has hosted over 300 local artists over the years.
They include well-known names such as Sheila Mackie, Bill Hindmarsh and Annette McKinnon and many more.
