THE Shorncliffe Pottery Club is holding its annual exhibition from October 10-13.

Expressions will feature more than 100 pieces which include not only pottery, but painting, sculpture, mixed media and photography.

Donna Martens, one of the organisers, said all artists were encouraged to enter.

$1 A WEEK FOR THE FIRST 8 WEEKS. Min. cost $4

“The Expressions exhibition allows artists, both local and those who live in the surrounding areas, to showcase, promote and sell their creations,” Ms Martens said.

“Each beautiful piece is filled with personal imaginations, ideas and feelings.”

“Come along and buy a special piece of personal art or just immerse yourself in the atmosphere. All pieces in the gallery are for sale.

“Our under $30 affordable art market section is another great place to visit to purchase a unique smaller piece of art for yourself or as a gift for someone special.

“We found at past Expressions, many people have used this stall as a great opportunity to start their Christmas shopping.”
