In 2011, Alan Birch will be running a series of workshops at John Rylands Library, in Manchester. The Library on Deansgate is home to a large collection of books and printed works throughout history. Alan will be based in the Library for an eight day period, giving participants and visitors an insight into his work, printing techniques and the collection. The sessions from February 16th February to 24th February 2011 are designed to introduce participants to early printed books and give an insight into the library building. The workshops will be available to schools, families and visitors.So come to the library, look around, learn about printing, get your hands dirty ( maybe ) and take your very own print away.
