Enchanted Woodland.

Year 1 pupils from Greenacres Primary School in Oldham, visited The Whitworth before their Easter break, to look at the collection and explore printmaking for the first time. As part of their topic ” Enchanted Woodland ” they looked at the watercolours and prints in the Cozens and Cozens exhibition. Later the pupils used patterned wallpapers, water-based relief ink and a small printing press to produce their own trees, which will be used to create woodlands at school. Staff enhanced the work by assisting the children in creating a spooky forest from wallopers and black ink.
