ARTWORK created for people to treasure for a lifetime will be on show at the Foal Yard Gallery.

Ceramics, glass, furniture, ironwork, pewter and paintings inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement will be exhibited at the Bransford venue.

Resident craftsman Jeremy Cornwell's oak, maple and dark walnut furniture will feature alongside work by Malvern-based painter Nathan Garner and mouth-blown glass artworks by Siddy Langley.

Many other artists whose work is influenced by the 19th-century movement will be joining them, including Avis Murray, Petra Tilley and Janice Tchalenko, all from Dartington Pottery.

Metalwork will also be well represented, with Sasha Bowley's distinctive pewter jewellery boxes on show alongside Jonathan Eadie's Charles Rennie Mackintosh-influenced designs.

The Arts and Crafts movement rejected ornate Victorian mass-produced decoration in favour of a simpler, more naturalistic style.

The Bransford-based exhibition will echo that philosophy, which Mr Cornwell sees it as a rejection of today's "throwaway" society.

All artwork on display will have been designed and made by the same people, rather than being dreamed up in one country before entering mass production on the other side of the world.

"I think all these things have a quality about them that makes you want to keep them for life," said Mr Cornwell.

Mr Cornwell said there would be something to suit everyone's price range, with pieces of furniture for thousands of pounds down to jewellery boxes for £12.

The exhibition, called Arts & Crafts Style - An Expression of Individuality, starts tomorrow (Saturday) and runs until Saturday, July 19. For further details, ring 01886 833337.
