Two groups of Young Carers enjoyed Easter themed workshops at the Discover Bucks Museum on April 2nd. Local printmaker, Alexandra Buckle, demonstrated relief printing techniques using safe tools and then assisted the children with drawing, mixing paints and production. With extra volunteers to support them, the children enthusiastically produced several prints each. The morning session was for 7 to 9 years and the afternoon session up to age 11.
The North West Area of The Arts Society recently held a special interest day at Clitheroe Golf Club, with guest speaker Marc Allum, freelance art and antiques journalist and broadcaster. He is well known for his appearances on television and radio, and perhaps most recognisable for his role on Antiques Roadshow. Some may also recall his cat, “Minou”, who appears in the programme’s opening credits, almost knocking over a vase.

If the mention of “quantitative easing” still sends shivers down your spine with its association to an economic crisis, worry not!
