SKETCHING, jewellery-making and painting are among some of the things visitors can try at Hanley Swan over the next few days.

Local artists are exhibiting and selling hand-made jewellery, silk paintings and picture frames at the arts and crafts event, which opened at St Gabriel's Church on Saturday and runs from 2pm to 5pm every afternoon, except Sunday, for two weeks.

The Rev Frances Wookey said: "It is going very well at the moment and lots of people have attended. We are very encouraged."
