Whale of a time!
Printmaker Alan Birch Birch Spent an evening introducing International students to the process of drypoint. Over 120 students from the 800 who attended engraved their own images based on objects in the museum. For many it was their first experience of print whilst others renewed their links with the medium. Its the third time Alan has printed under the Whale skeleton.
