CHILDREN showed their creative side at a summer art workshop at Bodley Studio, in Ford Street, near Wellington.

The youngsters, aged eight and over, made acrylic painted birds on canvas.

Sam has run the studio for 15 years having previously worked in two local schools.

She then went full time at Bodley Studio, offering a range of art and craft experiences to children and adults.

The studio has evolved to now offer a range of art activities for adults, teenagers and children, including regular mindful art sessions, art journaling, mixed media, watercolours, scholarship/portfolio prep, GCSE tuition, one-to-one sessions and family group sessions as well as a range of creative workshops throughout the year.
