SHOPPING SKILLS

Members of the Rochdale Congolese community spent a day at Touchstones, printing colourful shopping bags. Participants brought in vegetables and fruits on which to base their designs. From initial drawings large lino cuts were carved and then printed on personalised cotton bags. Watch out for glimpses of these colourful creations the next time you are shopping in Rochdale!
