Alan Birch

Year 3 pupils from St Peters Primary School in Accrington spent a day printing with artist Alan Birch. Pupils based their drawings on the theme of inventions, a subject they have been studying in class. Alan talked about the invention of printing, demonstrating the printing of text and woodcuts, before the pupils produced excellent drawings on the subject. Some joint relief prints based on natural forms were completed towards the end of the session.

“The children have still been talking about  the printing workshop today, they loved it. I would love to set up another workshop for some other classes.”
