Press Gang
Press Gang's annual summer exhibition of printmaking features the work of twelve local artists.
For the last thirteen years Mike Glanville has run a printmaking workshop at Salcombe Art Club,
and the artists involved form a lively group, sharing ideas and techniques in the mutually supportive and creative environment
of the Loft Studio.
With a firm grounding in traditional printmaking techniques, the artists often take a contemporary, experimental
approach to their work, and the spirit of the group permeates this annual exhibition of members' work.
This year's exhibition includes a wide range of approaches to relief and intaglio printmaking,
such as lino and wood cut, drypoint and collagraph, and monoprint and monotype.
Members of Press Gang will be in the gallery throughout the fortnight, and will be happy to explain how printing plates are made,
and how ink is transferred from plate to paper, creating each time an original work of art.
Open 10 am - 5 pm (closed Sunday)
