A GROUP of students explored how to use light during a workshop in Hartlepool this week.

They worked with Dutch artist Judi Gor at Hartlepool Art Gallery to use different reflective materials and types of light to show how light can create works of art.

Students from Cleveland College of Art and Design and pupils from Hall Garth Comprehensive School, in Middlesbrough, and High Tunstall School, in Hartlepool, took part in the workshops.

The art gallery is hosting an exhibition of Ms Gor's work, which includes some ideas for how light art might be used to enhance Hartlepool's Headland area as part of a multi-million pound regeneration programme.

The gallery, in Church Square, is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am to 5.30pm, and Sundays from 2pm to 5pm.
