A WIVENHOE art school has celebrated the achievements of two students who have won prestigious competitions.
Queen Street Art School, based in Colchester, has seen two of its students win the Banksy Art Prize and the Rotary Art Award.
The school recently held a children's art exhibition at the Sentinel Gallery in Wivenhoe, which saw hundreds of visitors and many children selling their artwork.
Founders Kirstin and Aniela said: "We are dedicated artists and we love running our successful art classes, where our students thrive in creativity and self confidence.
"We are also proud to announce that two of our talented students have just won first prizes in prestigious art competitions."
The school, founded just before the pandemic, runs classes from its studio in Colchester, and when not teaching, the founders work on their own collections as professional artists and designers.
