Art Exhibition
The Art department was successful in winning a bid to exhibit work at Upminster Library. 22 Lino Prints from Years 10 and 11 were selected and shown to the public between the 4th and the 18th February.

The method is called REDUCTION PRINTING as each layer is carefully engraved from the lino block and printed on top of the previous colour. We are now hoping to exhibit a larger number of prints in the Frances Bardsley Arts Centre in the Autumn.
