A WORCESTERSHIRE gallery is celebrating it's first year as a regional centre for ceramics.

Twelve months ago the Gallery at Bevere, near Worcester, began exhibiting ceramic art alongside paintings and glassware.

Gallery owner Kim Taylor said: "We're proud to have welcomed some of the most talented studio potters in the UK and abroad to the Gallery over the past year - and the programme for the rest of this year is just as exciting." This month, the gallery will be displaying impressive stoneware vessels by John Jelfs alongside the luminous slipware of Francoise Dufayard and the minimalist tableware of Claudia Lis.

The Gallery at Bevere is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.30am to 5pm, and on the first Sunday of every month or by appointment.
