Prospect Printmakers joined Sally & Brett on BBC Radio Lancashire today to talk about printmaking.

Carolyn Murphy joined Alan Birch (left) of Prospect Studio and fellow printmaker Peter Cave (right) in the BBC Radio Lancashire studio in Blackburn to talk about their new Pennine exhibition. The printmaking exhibition runs until 17 June at The Whitaker Art Gallery & Museum in Rawtenstall.

It was also a great chance to talk about the therapeutic benefits of printmaking. The team shared information on Alan’s regular workshops with listeners to Radio Lancashire. Alan Birch runs printmaking classes from his studio in Waterfoot, Rossendale.
