Alice, who is a graduate of UCLan’s MA Ceramics course, said: “I created the Instagram page for the local community to share their artworks, drawings, prints, paintings, etc.

“The page is aimed at everybody, from little artists, to ‘proper’ artists, and everyone in between. I’m keen to build an exhibition of sorts online, that everyone can be a part of.
