ARTISTIC borough youngsters can take part in craft sessions at Dudley's Churchill Shopping Centre thanks to funding from London and Cambridge Properties.

Over 40 children took part in the opening event and organisers are hoping for many more at the next session which takes place this Saturday, October 11 from 11am to 2pm.

Charity organisation Artspace will be hosting a series of free to join drop-in sessions which are taking place every second Saturday of the month thanks to the backing of London and Cambridge who own the shopping centre.

Mask making is on the menu for this Saturday's event which takes place outside the Iceland store.

Further projects include puppet making on November 8, while Christmas cards are on offer on December 13.
