Children’s 3D efforts add an extra dimension to art show

Made by children The Thoughts of Thirsk Exhibition will be open daily until Saturday from 10am–4pm. The exhibition will feature work by gifted pupils from 10 local schools.

Jane Grainger, the artist who has worked with the children said: “Each group of pupils was asked to choose a place or building of interest from the Thirsk area and to create a work of art based on that theme using a 60cm square piece of MDF board and a variety of craft materials including recycled card, paint, tissue paper, newspaper and glue.”
