FREE Half Term holiday activities in Darwen Market
ALAN BIRCH
Printmaking Workshop
Alan Birch is a printmaker with over 25 years of experience delivering workshops in galleries and schools. He will bring his portable printing press to the workshops enabling participants to print their own colourful prints.
Textured and patterned wallpapers will be used to create rich, colourful prints based on the theme of nature. All inks are water-based, and artists can take their prints away.
Parents and children will be invited to create their own prints! “It's just like a magic trick!” The words of a 7-year-old artist
This is a free drop-in session running between 11 am and 3pm in both markets. All materials are provided.
