THE first drop in day at Roger Ellis Studios, Ullingswick, was a real page turning success, with lots of people dropping in for coffee and cakes and to browse the extensive art library.
With 53 paintings and drawings by local artists and over 700 art books to browse there was plenty for visitors to enjoy.
Roger said "We were asked about several rather obscure artists and amazingly we were able to find books on all of them".
A selection of art related books were also for sale to help raise funds.
Over £300 was raised for St Michaels Hospice and the village defibrillator fund.
