An exhibition showcasing local art opened this week.

The Hoops of Hertfordshire exhibition opened on Tuesday at the Henderson Hub in Abbots Langley.

It runs until December 7.

The exhibition features the latest work from the Zooming Sew & Sews, a local group of artists who primarily meet online on Tuesday evenings.

The group occasionally meets in person for away-days.

The works on display depict various towns and villages throughout Hertfordshire, each illustrated within a 12-inch hoop and accompanied by quirky facts.

One of the highlights is an intriguing link between Charlie Chaplin and Bishop’s Stortford.

The group has also produced the ‘Booby Trap’ quilt, aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer.
