Swansea Print Workshop is hosting this website as a virtual exhibition space for our members and associates initially as a response to the restrictions we are operating under at the moment and the ongoing uncertainties.
Members are invited to ‘curate’ an exhibition around an area of interest / a technique/ a theme/ a group you work with/a collaborative piece of work/ local interest etc.
It is hoped also that it will help to develop new skills in dealing with any of the technology that is necessary to promote and market work.
We can also feature the work of the many artists in residence and exchange schemes we have benefited from in the last twenty years.

Covid 19 | restrictions
We have been open in a limited way since early June. Members can book for open access sessions with restricted numbers in operation.
Keyholders can book sessions as sole users of the workshops to maintain social distancing
The extensive workshop programme we planned for this year has had to be abandoned and we will resume these when it is safe to do so.
One to one sessions are still available if you need some tuition in a process. Contact spwproject@gmail.com to let us know what you need.
