Former Design student Attila Olah has been shortlisted for a £1,000 prize alongside five other recent ceramic graduates from the North West.
Hosted by the Bluecoat Display Centre, the Backhouse Bequest prize award is sponsored by David and Roy Backhouse in memory of their parents.
The six finalists have been shortlisted for the originality and strength of voice of their work, and the exhibition represents an opportunity for the public to view fresh creative work by emerging artists.
The exhibition will run until Saturday 7th October at the Bluecoat Display Centre, and will feature work by those shortlisted and the winner Michael McGowan.
