Mike Clements is a fine art printmaker and book artist working in the Border Marches, the area where Wales & England join.  His ideas come from close observation of the world around him, often focusing on quirky aspects of life.

Mike demonstrates and sells his artist's books regularly at artists book fairs, including The Small Publishers Fair, London; and at the Bristol, Manchester and Liverpool artists' book events. 

Mike's artist’s books are in public and private collections in Europe, Australia and North America, including the Tate Gallery London, Yale Centre for British Art, the Minnesota Centre for the Book, Bodleian Library Oxford and Cardiff Met, Manchester Metropolitan, UWE Bristol & Oxford Brookes Universities, and Arts University Bournemouth.  He was, for many years,  printmaking tutor at the Sidney Nolan Trust, www.sidneynolantrust.org and is a member of the Marches Book Arts Group, www.marchesbookartsgroup.co.uk/mike-clements.
