FACILITIES
Swansea Print Workshop operates an open access policy. Anyone can use the facilities during scheduled open access hours or by becoming full members. The workshop is staffed by experienced printmakers and is designed to meet the needs of both beginners and professionals alike.
A variety of workshops and master classes take place regularly in the main studio, where beginners and experienced printmakers can often be seen working side by side. There is excellent natural light and a comprehensive facility for creating prints of all kinds.
Glass topped inking areas provide work surfaces and a large selection of relief, etching and water based inks are available. There is also provision for dampening and drying large sheets of paper, a grounds preparation area and a drying cupboard for curing plates.
We stock a full range of materials and papers specifically chosen to ensure quality and consistency of outcome and are happy to offer advice to users and visitors on all aspects of the workshop.
