STUDENTS have been sharing their artistic skills with children.

Sarah Burdon, Emma Ford and Sarah Gardener, who are all 21 and final year students at Cleveland College of Art and Design, in Hartlepool, held three workshops at Durham's Oriental Museum this week.

They have been showing the children how to decorate masks with Oriental designs.

Ms Burdon said: "We are providing base masks and they are painting them.

"We had 12 kids yesterday, and they seemed to enjoy it, judging by the mess that was made."
