A touch of glass will be provided by Silsden artist Jo Whitehead during this weekend’s Making and Doing Festival!

She will show people how she makes her decorative glassware during the festival’s Meet The Maker event in Haworth.

Jo, who sells glass tableware and gifts under the name of Glassprimitif, will also show visitors how to make their own glass decorations.

Jo is one of ten artists demonstrating their skills in the Old School Rooms, off Main Street, from 11am to 4pm on Saturday.

The artists will show off their own creations, including wood carvings, embroidery, paintings and rag rugs, and encourage visitors to ‘have a go’.
