African Prints
Year 1 pupils from The Twelve Apostles RC Primary School in Wigan experienced their first taste of printing with artist Alan Birch. The pupils had been looking at African culture as part of their studies and explored the theme of African masks. Pupils used water based inks and wallpaper to create their brilliant prints.
