CERAMICIST Christine Hester Smith and painter James Walsh are both exhibiting at Red Barn.

Christine - based in Dumfries and Galloway - is best described as an illustrator in clay with the Melkinthorpe gallery showing a range of her pots and forms. Technically outstanding, Christine’s work features strong yet playful shapes, each piece with its own vibrant and humorous story.

Also not to be missed are the thought provoking figurative paintings by James Walsh.

Red Barn is located alongside Larch Cottage Nurseries just off the A6 south of Penrith.
