Press Gang Printmakers / Events / Tue 02 to Sun 14 Jul 2013 (2 weeks)
Press Gang Annual Exhibition of Printmaking
Ten Salcombe printmakers present a varied exhibition of printmaking.
Works include etching, drypoint, engraving, collagraph, woodcut, linocut and monotype prints.
For the last fifteen 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.
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.
