TWO Worcestershire artists have collaborated to create a brand new exhibition due to open at Pershore Library this week.

John Hodgkins and Anne Prater, who are both members of art classes in Elmley Castle and Evesham, have combined their watercolours and pastels into a single display.

"I have been painting for about eight years and though I have taken part in other exhibitions I wanted to show more of my work," said Mr Hodgkins.

"Anne is a very talented artist so I thought it would be great to put our work together."

The exhibition will contain everything from landscapes to still life, and will consist of around 50 pieces of art, all of which will be available to buy.

It will open at Pershore's library, in Church Street, on Saturday, March 15, and runs until Sunday, April 6.
