ARTIST Amy Hirst is taking over an empty shop in Cleckheaton to tell the stories of the Spen Valley’s proud revolutionary history.

Her mini-residency Democracy of Print explores how printmaking played an important part in the development of democracy.

People can even go and print their own placards.

Sessions are being held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

More sessions are planned for December 11, 12 and 13.
