Harrogate's visually impaired showcase their sculpture
Visually impaired people from a Harrogate charity are showcasing their art alongside professional sculptors at an exhibition in Leeds.
Nine members of Vision Support Harrogate District's ceramics class will join other sculptors displaying their work at the Sculpture Show North this month.
The show, at the Corn Exchange in Leeds from October 22 to 31, includes work by 16 local, national and international sculptors.
Members of Vision Support Harrogate District have created sculptures of animals, teddy bears' picnics and heads.
Their tutor, sculptor Kay Latto, is also exhibiting at the show. She said:
Besides ceramics classes, Vision Support Harrogate District members are offered a variety of other arts and crafts classes as well as IT.
The charity works with over 300 visually impaired people regularly and is a point of contact for 400 more.
