THE Black Barn Gallery will be hosting The Christmas Collection, featuring specially selected guest artists alongside resident artists and designers, until Christmas Eve.

The official opening will be held this Saturday from 5pm to 7pm with festive refreshments and the Salisbury and Shaftesbury Ukulele Bands providing live entertainment.

Two designers making a welcome return to the Black Barn for The Christmas Collection are Monica Murphy with her beautifully crafted enamelled copperware and Claire Waters with her decorative glass art.

There are also hand-bound books from vintage magazines and sewing patterns produced by Pulp Paper Heaven and Tina Seviour's contemporary jewellery made from recycled materials and vintage textiles.
