Mick Manning
Mick Manning grew up in Haworth and studied Art & Design at Bradford College of Art and The University of Northumbria before a 3 year MA in Illustration at the Royal College of Art (1984 -1987). At the RCA his personal tutors included John Norris Wood, Quentin Blake and Shelia Robinson. Mick’s work is informed, although not limited by, natural history encounters made both in Northumberland and also in Sweden where he spends part of every year. His recent book Near the Bear North (Design for Today) showcases his interest in stencil prints while The Brontes (Watts), a picture book made in collaboration with his wife (Brita Granström), reflects a yearning for his boyhood. Mick exhibits with St Judes Prints, The Open Eye Gallery and Godfrey and Watt
