THE local arts scene is well and truly getting into the festive spirit and creative types are busy getting ready for the Combined Christmas Shop at the Potters’ Gallery at Glennie Heights.
The Warwick Potters have co-ordinated a combined group Christmas Shop for several years to provide an outlet for local potters, artists, woodcrafters, spinners and weavers and textile artisans leading up to Christmas.
All items are hand-made by talented Southern Downs residents.
The Combined Christmas Shop is the perfect place to find a hand-made special gift for all the family and enjoy the local arts on display.
The Christmas Shop will be open to the public on Friday 2 December and Saturday 3 December, at the Potters’ Gallery at 63 Horsman Road.
