ARTIST Ann Whitfield will be holding her next open studio weekend over the August Bank holiday.

The studio, based at 2 Raby Avenue, Barnard Castle, will be open on August 26, 27 and 28 from 10am until 5pm.

As well as paintings, a selection of cards and limited edition prints will also be on sale at the free event.

Mrs Whitfield said: "My August bank holiday sale last year was a great success, with lots of you going away happily with original paintings which I had rescued from the cupboard on the landing and various dusty corners.

I gained some room under the bed and in the corners of the studio as well as a nice empty cupboard.

"I intend to do the same this year, with many original paintings at half or less of the original exhibition or studio price. This includes selected works on canvas and framed and unframed original work on paper."
