A GROUP of four skilled craftspeople will be exhibiting and demonstrating their traditional skills during a one-day event at the Station in Richmond.
The tutors, who all work for the Clervaux Trust at Croft-on-Tees, will be demonstrating their traditional crafts on Wednesday, August 4.
Working in partnership with schools, colleges and local authorities across the north, the Clervaux Trust provides a range of sustainable living practises and education to people with special needs.
The four are: Adrian Wood, an artist blacksmith; Chris Helliwell, a green wood-worker; Claude Frere-Smith, a potter and Lone Helliwell, a textile artist.
As well as being able to view and buy the work created by the artists, there will also be live demonstrations by Adrian and Chris. Claude and Lone will be running "have-a-go" sessions in pottery and felt-making all day.
There will be a charge of £2 to cover materials and there is no need to book. The day runs from 10am until 5pm.
