The combination of Paisley pattern and Mehndi imagery were combined to brilliant effect by Year 4 pupils from Cavendish Primary School at the Whitworth Art Gallery. Pupils worked from sketchbook studies and gathered  visual sources to draw and cut out a range of shapes and patterns. These were later inked and printed, the ink bringing out the exquisite patterns of the wallpaper.
