AN exhibition will open tomorrow at a North-East museum to celebrate the work of a prolific designer.
Middlesbrough residents and regular visitors to the town's Dorman Museum may know Christopher Dresser through Linthorpe Art Pottery, but the exhibition will showcase the designs produced by Dresser for a range of manufacturers.
The designs included carpets, textiles, ceramics, furniture, glass, metalware and wallpaper. Dresser also established the Art Furnishers' Alliance -a design store aimed at middle-class Victorians.
Visitors to the Dorman Museum will be able to see new acquisitions to the museum collection, including a recently donated example of Linthorpe Art Pottery -an unglazed terracotta vase.
The exhibition is free and will run until February 27.
