ONE of the region's leading glass artists visited an after-school club to demonstrate her skills.
The ten to 14-year-olds from South Moor After School Homework Club (Smash) spent a day of their holiday working with Newcastle glass artist Effie Burns.
They learnt how to stain and manipulate glass, which will be fired and returned for a display at South Moor Library.
Organisers of Smash, which has 150 members, are holding a public meeting in order to adopt a constitution at South Moor Library, on Thursday, March 1, at 6pm.
Ms Burns, a 3D design graduate from Sunderland University, has organised an exhibition of glass work, starting this weekend, at Saltburn Artists Studios, in Marske Road, Saltburn.
She said: "My work explores the links of geometry, art and religion, using the polished surface of the glass to reflect the viewer and their surroundings."
The exhibition runs from Saturday until Sunday, April 1, every Wednesday to Sunday, from noon until 4pm. There will be a preview on Friday, from 7pm
