An exhibition featuring an exotic mix of African-inspired patterns and colours will open in Laxey this weekend.

Fabric and textile artists Janice Cottier and Pat Kelly will open their display, entitled ’Africa’, at the Hodgson Loom Gallery, at the Laxey Woollen Mills, on Saturday, from 2pm.

The display, which will remain open until Saturday, April 27, will feature woven and embroidery pieces, and it promises to be a ’riot of pattern and colour, inspired by African art and textile’.
