'The GCSE printmaking workshop day was fantastic. The pupils absolutely loved the session and produced
an outstanding series of prints. It was incredible to think that they got through so many different techniques
 and processes all in one day! Alan really worked with each pupil individually, helping them to realise outcomes
 that were personal to their own project. A thoroughly enjoyable day and I look forward to the next workshop - thanks Alan.'
