TWO artists from a North Yorkshire glass studio have been shortlisted for a worldwide design award.

Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones, of Gillies Jones Glass, Rosedale Abbey, on the North York Moors, have had one of their glass pieces selected for the Bombay Sapphire prize.

It has been chosen by international glass experts as one of 30 pieces to go through to the final from more than 500 entrants.

The award has been launched this year by the Bombay Sapphire Foundation with a £20,000 prize fund.

Mr Gillies said: "We are very pleased to have been shortlisted and to have our piece, Water Seed, on tour in the UK for the coming year."
