Alan Birch

international students from Manchester University spent an afternoon working with artist Alan Birch at the Whitworth in Manchester. Artists drew from the works of Goya, before using these drawings to engrave on card plates in the learning studio. Artists engraved their prints and then printed them using water based etching ink and a portable etching press. For many this was their first taste of creating since secondary school.
