A NORTH Somerset artist is giving organisations the chance to own a piece of her art for free.

Jackie Richardson has decided to shut her studio and is offering two of her bigger glass and metal creations, named Ribbon and Sphere, to charities or residential homes in the area for free.

She will hold an open day between 11am-4pm on Saturday to give people the chance to see the sculptures and also to sell any of her remaining pieces and tools she no longer needs.

Jackie’s workshop is at Bristol Art and Design, Markham Farm in Martcombe Road, near Easton-in-Gordano.
