BUDDING artists from a St Annes school made a good impression on King Edward and Queen Mary's artist in residence.

The Year 6 pupils from St Thomas Primary School were invited by Norman Long to take part in a print making workshop.

Norman, who is spending a year with the King Edward and Queen Mary's, said: "They all learned a new skill and were able to take home their own colourful print at the end of the afternoon." Next to visit Norman will be Wrea School pupils later this month.
