Preston Prints.
Photography students at Cardinal Newman College in Preston, spent a creative day with printmaker Alan Birch In November. Using ideas from their coursework, students explored a vast range of print techniques including engraving, chine collie and relief printing. The quality of their prints taken from perspex plates was exceptional and they completely engaged with the process.
