John Hewitt

John Hewitt trained as a fine artist and printmaker and has completed a PhD on the role of memory in reportage drawing. Since 2015 he has made over 4,000 observational daily sketchbook drawings. Based in the Pennine borderlands of Saddleworth, one of his recur-rent threads of subject interest is the traces of radical history across the Yorkshire-Lancashire axis. Until recently John was a Senior Lecturer on the Illustration BA Hons at Manchester Met and also taught at the Royal College of Art.
