On March 16, Manx National Heritage (MNH) will host a fascinating talk by internationally acclaimed sculptor Michael Sandle RA to celebrate the launch of his new book ‘Michael Sandle Works on Paper’.
The book presents Michael Sandle’s two-dimensional work from his early years whilst training at Douglas School of Art, right up to the present day.
Alongside lithographs and etchings, it shows pages from his sketchbooks and many medium and larger format drawings.
