A UNIQUE Forest Open Studios art exhibition with an international flavour will be running at the huge space inside a Gloucester Docks warehouse from May 8-30.
Many Forest of Dean artists and craftspeople will be showing their work in the exhibition, titled Out of the Forest, at the Double Reynolds Warehouse from May 8-30.
The exhibition has come about after the many artistic and cultural exchanges last year between communities in the Forest and from Belgium, Hungary and Ireland.
"It is now the Forest Artists Network's turn to host and display some of the best of the photographs, prints and other work that has arisen from these exchanges, alongside a wide, eclectic range of local art and Forest crafts," said organiser Jane Spry.
"Some of the photographs and prints were produced during a workshop involving artists from the four countries meeting and working together at Magyapolany, a tiny village in Hungary."
Local work includes new textiles by Jenny Grierson-Godwin, painted silk pieces by Mary Thorpe, baskets by Rosy Callinan, life-size figurative sculpture by Angela Palmer and furniture by Paul Harper and James Crombie.
There will also be three-dimensional work and drawings by Sue Chudley, sculpture and surprises by Veronica Gosling, Nigel Cann's works inspired by nature and human nature, Ian Richardson's steel sculpture, pieces by Mary Edwards and sculpture and a fountain with a difference from Jane Spry.
As well as the Gloucester exhibition, the above artists will all be opening their studios and workshops to the public on the weekends of July 10-11 and 17-18.
An illustrated map of the open studios will be available at the exhibition and entry is free.
