If you're visiting Sunderland's National Glass Centre (NGC) on the banks of the River Wear and the weather is turning spring-like, make sure you include enough time to take in the installations along the nearby riverside footpath.
There are some superb works on display, such as this, 'The Red House', just a few metres downstream from the NGC.
This large stone sculpture represents the ground floor of a house, left open to the elements.
Large blocks of red sandstone are carved into features such a fireplace, a coat hanging behind a door and a table. A rug on the floor has 'WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND' carved around its edges.
This impressive outdoor sculpture was commissioned by Tyne and Wear Development Corporation as part of its regeneration of St Peter's Riverside, one of fifteen works in the area made by a team headed by Colin Wilbourn. It is a definite 'must see'.
