Children get creative with creatures at Woodhorn
Children got their paints out and their hands dirty creating animal-based art at a free workshop during the weekend.
Artist Paul Merrick was on hand at Woodhorn Colliery museum to help the children create an art installation inspired by the fascinating historic posters in the Woodhorn's Davison collection.
