Mike Glanville printmaker and painter

Alongside an earlier career in engineering, Mike has had a life long interest and involvement with graphic design, painting, printmaking and illustration, including work for South Hams District Council and the environmental organisation Common Ground. Since 1997 he has been running Press Gang Printmakers the print workshop based at Salcombe Art Club, and tutoring painting classes and workshops. Please contact him for details of printmaking tuition in drypoint collagraph woodcut and wood engraving.

Mike is mainly interested in developing a personal vision, with shoreline and Dartmoor as principal motifs. His time is spent equally between painting and printmaking. Collaborative work with the Moor Poets group is becoming increasingly important to his work.
