A BARRY-BASED artist will host two open studio events for those with an eye for a distinctly local-looking Christmas gift.

Glyn Pooley is inviting all to visit the Canonhill Artspace, Canon Street, Barry, from 7pm to 9pm, on Thursday, October 23 and from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, October 25.

Glyn specializes in original paintings, drawings and sculpture but also has a selection of high quality signed prints of well-known local landmarks available.

There will be free tea and coffee and all are welcome.
