AN exhibition of glassworks starts this weekend at the Saltburn Artists Studios.

The exhibition of kiln- formed glassworks has been put together by Effie Burns, a 3D design graduate from Sunderland University.

Effie has worked on a series of residences on Tyneside and worked in several schools to create permanent art works for the Newcastle quayside.

She said: "I enjoy making work for specific places that relates to the building or the people that use it.

"Currently, my work explores the links of geometry, art and religion, using the polished surface of the glass to reflect the viewer and their surroundings so that space and context are integral to the work.

"I can reveal the magical qualities that can be achieved with glass in order to change the atmosphere of a place."

The exhibition is showing at Saltburn Artists Studios, in Marske Road, Saltburn. It runs from Saturday until Sunday April 1, every Wednesday to Sunday, from noon until 4pm.

There will be a special preview on Friday, from 7pm until 9pm.
