Crafted!
Tuesday 21st September - Sunday 14th November 2010
A vibrant and colourful exhibition to showcase the talented artists and crafts people we have across the North West area. There will be a diverse range of work displayed at the museum with the opportunity to purchase some of the pieces.
The exhibition will then move on to Kirkby Gallery on 30th November - 6th February 2011. As the gallery spaces differ, there will be an emphasis of 3D design and craft objects at Prescot Museum, whereas Kirkby Gallery will predominantly host 2D works of all sizes.
