Art Club collaborative project

In 2022 our Art Club worked so hard learning about local artists such as LS. Lowry, Mr. Eggz and Chris Cyprus. We created a series of Stalybridge landscapes inspired by these artists and then chose Chris Cyprus to focus on to create a Stalybridge landscape using acrylic paint on canvases.
