Big Draw Jigsaws

Larger than life jigsaws...

Family group enjoying the Big Jigsaw eventYoung people and their families from the Addy Young People’s Centre and Family Action Benchill in Wythenshawe have been on a treasure hunt around Manchester Art Gallery to select a painting or object of their choice.

Following their visit, they worked with artist Amanda McCrann to create a larger than life jigsaw based on Inhale by Michael Craig-Martin and a snuff box displayed in the Gallery of Craft and Design.

The jigsaws were pieced together in front of the original artwork at the Manchester Art Gallery Big Draw event in October. The jigsaws are to be displayed in Wythenshawe Forum in Autumn 2006.
