Last Friday at the Community Arts Centre, The Wanganui Potters' Society annual exhibition opened. The exhibition will be available for the public to view from today, and will showcase this year's best work.

Paintings by local artist Frances Sim-Higgins are also a part of the exhibition.

April Pearson is the guest potter and chose the art works for the exhibition.

Her own works for the showcase will include achessboard and pieces, and a collection representing Maori and Viking mythological monsters.

"These works are about transitions, and serpents," Ms Pearson said.

The chessboard and pieces are based on the design of a 12th Century chess set found on Scotland's Isle of Lewis.

The exhibition will run until October 13.

The society's next exhibition in November will be a weekend display of garden art.
