Turnpike prints

Published ~ May 18th, 2018 .

Year 7 pupils from Bedford High School, spent a creative afternoon working with printmaker Alan Birch. Working on the theme of myth and customs, pupils produced a series of drawings which were then transformed into intaglio engravings. These plates were inked with water based ink and printed on a portable printing press. The prints were excellent and will be displayed at the Turnpike in June and July together with the work of Dave Pearson.

” The session was really good. The kids were very happy with their work. It’s really moody and abstract! ”

Bridget Moss. Assistant Headteacher.
