Pupils at St Andrew's Primary School have become the latest budding artists to help with work to refurbish Highfield.

Artist Joanna Kessel has run a series of printmaking workshops at the school based on local nature.

The programme has been part of Highfield Single Regeneration Budget's work to revitalise the area.

Joanna, who has been employed through a £27,000 grant from the national lottery, will also refurbish more than 40 raised planters in the area.

Shirley Davids, year six teacher at the Keighley school, was delighted with the work Joanna had done with the children.

She said: "Joanna has developed the work they have been doing this year and developed their creativity. She has been working with them for three weeks and has done a wonderful job.

"The children have been thrilled to bits and as a result of their work I now have a classroom full of really beautiful prints."

Joanna said: "I am introducing the children to the same work which will be done in the area so they can understand the processes involved.

"The idea is that the children make their own designs because they affect every area in their lives, and so they will also understand the work that will occur in the community."

The workshops have also been carried out at Greenhead High School and St Anne's Primary School.
