A TEXTILES exhibition inspired by Japan, China and Egypt opens tomorrow.

Members of the Durham Embroiderers Guild took their inspiration from the Chinese, Japanese and Egyptian collections of the Oriental Museum, in Durham City.

Their work will be showcased in the museum, on Elvet Hill, until June 9.

More than 40 embroiderers from County Durham have contributed.

The exhibition celebrates the work of the guild in conserving the museum's textile collection.

Museum curator Craig Barclay said: "The museum has a great relationship with the guild.

"We have worked together for almost ten years and, last year, we held a refresher course to keep their textile conservation skills updated.

"Guild members do a marvellous job in coming in regularly to help preserve the huge range of delicate textiles we have here at the museum."

Many of the textile works will be available to buy.

The Oriental Museum is open from 10am to 5pm on weekdays and 12pm to 5pm on weekends. Admission is £1.50 for adults and 75p for concessions.

● A tai chi workshop will be held in Durham's Oriental Museum tomorrow, between 12pm and 4.30pm, led by Sedgefield-based instructor Joe Harte. The cost is £20. To book, call 0772-083-9621.
