BLACKMINSTER Business Park held a pot painting competition with pupils from years 7 and 8 at Blackminster Middle School.

Teacher Mathew Anderson choose their most aspiring artists to decorate the pots.

The 18 pupils prepared the week before by working out designs and making templates, which was used as it counts towards the children's art awards scheme.

The Potted Pantry provided refreshments on the day and the pots are now dotted around the park.

Anyone who wants to vote for the best pot can do so on voting slips at The Potted Pantry by 5pm on Friday, July 8.

There will be prizes for first, second and third with a plaque used on the winner's pot.
