Children are being encouraged to let their imaginations run riot at a three-day art camp this week.
Fourteen youngsters aged five to eight from all over the Island have been decorating mosaic pots at the annual spring art camp at Bermuda National Gallery in City Hall, Hamilton. The theme of the event is "Let Your Imagination Take You Places".
They spent the first two days creating their own design on pots donated by Aberfeldy Nursery. And today (Wednesday), the children will visit Bermuda Clayworks at Dockyard to see pots being produced.
Freda Twyman, the gallery's volunteer acting education director, said: "They have decorated their own pots using a number of tiles and buttons and glitter. They seem to have enjoyed it."
