Manchester Academicians!
During August Alan Birch worked with pupils from Manchester Academy at the Whitworth in Manchester. New Year 7 Pupils were part of the Summer School of Manchester Academy and produced a range of prints and drawings , inspired by exhibitions at the Whitworth. Pupils produced relief prints, engravings and drawings together with creative writing and literacy exercises. These pieces were taken back to school and a graduation ceremony was held to showcase all this hard work over 2 weeks. The scheme gave pupils a chance to learn,create and make new friends. A great idea!
