WIND chimes made from cutlery and snowy scenes in musical boxes are among the attractions at a Christmas exhibition at an art gallery.

The exhibition at the Zillah Bell Gallery, in Kirkgate, Thirsk, runs until December 31 and is open between 10am and 5pm Monday to Saturday, with a break for lunch between 1pm and 2pm.

Artist Ken Bright, who lives and works in York, twists and burnishes old cutlery to form candleholders and wind chimes.

Another person with work on display is box-maker David Winfield, who used to teach controversial artist Tracey Emin at Goldsmith's College, in London.

He has been secretary and vice-president of the Royal Society of British Artists and his work at the Thirsk gallery includes Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer peeping from a Christmas box.

His wife, Ann Kilvington, is showing paintings of Yorkshire landscapes in oils and watercolours.

Other artists with work on display in the exhibition include Norman Ackroyd, Deirdre Borlase, Tom Wanless, Jason Nicklin and James Alderson.
