Roseberry Court Residents celebrated world art day by first choosing their own design of pot stars to paint, which included hanging ones and ones that a candle would hold.
Then, Residents enjoyed choosing their favourite colours and were very surprised at how good their stars looked when finished, Residents that choose not to paint stars enjoyed colouring paintings together.
Jean, a Resident at Roseberry Court said: “Well I’ve really enjoyed painting, and I love my finished star.”
