Year 12 Photography and Art students had a fantastic afternoon working with world renowned artist and designer Morag Myerscough facilitated by Emma Butchart at Compton Verney.

The work they produced will be used by Morag in designing the installation that she is creating at Compton Verney which should be open to the public in the summer.

Mrs Merlin-Warner was really impressed with the way the students responded to the artist in the workshop and we are really grateful to Compton Verney for giving us the opportunity for such a memorable experience.
