JAPANESE printmaking will be explored during two workshops at a North-East museum this weekend.

Artist Nana Shiomi will hold two sessions at the Oriental Museum in Durham City on Saturday, aimed at children aged from eight to 14.

There are ten places available for each 90-minute workshop, which offer participants a chance to work in Japanese printing styles.

All materials are provided free of charge and the sessions take place at 11am and 2pm.

The workshops have been paid for by the Sasakawa Foundation, which promotes exchange visits between Europe and Japan.
