Manfred Welling

Artist    Printmaker   Photographer

My background is chemistry and I spent many years doing research on polymers, paints and adhesives, which in later life helped me understand not only the behaviour and characteristics of different paints and paint mediums but also the technicalities of printmaking.

Having got my degree, a chance encounter led to a complete change of direction and I became involved with designers, typographers, photographers and other creative people whose influence made me who I am today and what I do. Among these were the young Terence Conran and the industrial photographer Maurice Broomfield.

I have had no formal art training apart from attending, over a period of some 25 years, numerous courses and workshops devoted to different ways of making art.
