A TOURING art exhibition has attracted about 3,000 visitors to rural communities.
The Designed for the Dales project has been touring Teesdale and Weardale, showing work including rag-rugs, furniture, glass and ceramics, baskets and tapestry.
Several items have been commissioned for sites in Teesdale and Weardale.
Peter Lloyd, a boxmaker from Cumbria, has made a cashbox, which will be placed in Stanhope Town Hall. Fiona Rutherford is making a tapestry for Killhope Lead Mining Centre. And basket- maker Lois Walpole is to make a piece for Barnard Castle Library.
Plans are already under way for a sixth tour, called a Stitch in Time, featuring work by textile artists Rachael Howard, from London, and Collette Gilmartin, from Manchester.
The tour will start in autumn
