HORWICH-based artist Mary Rudkin combines art and fashion in a new exhibition opening this week.

'Spring into Summer' opens at CreateBolton, a registered charity in Claremont House, off Bark Street, in Bolton town centre, after a fundraiser on Saturday at the venue.

There will be afternoon tea and prosecco from 3pm to 4.30pm and a chance to meet the artist. Pete Ryder will provide music.

The exhibition is a one-woman show of fashion illustrations and jackets Mary has made by upcycling woollen blankets.
