HALESOWEN art group The Black Country Artists are appealing for new members.

The group meet every Thursday from 7pm to 9pm at Hurst Green Methodist Church Hall, Narrow Lane.

Carol Biddle, from the group, said: "There is no tuition and we bring our own paints and brushes.

"We paint in watercolour, acrylic, pastels and we are a small friendly group."

All ages and abilities are welcome and the fee is £3 per session but the first one is free.
