Arabian Nights printing.
Year 4 Pupils from Leyland Community Primary School spent a creative day working with printmaker Alan Birch. Working in conjunction with the Turnpike Gallery in Leigh , Alan introduced pupils to engraving and some relief prints. Pupils initially produced drawings on the theme of the stories of the Arabian Nights which were then transformed into engravings and relief prints. Following the year 4 workshops Alan intruded staff to the potential of print in an after school printing session. Teachers were shown how to print monsters using recycled plastics.
