Membership with SPW allows access to our well-equipped printmaking studio for independent use during our Open Access sessions.

We offer three levels of annual membership: Ordinary, Full and Keyholder. All attract a range of benefits which may include eligibility to participate in exhibitions and projects, discounted fees for workshops and other activities including Life Drawing classes, selling work through our Art Shop at 19a and the online gallery. The higher the level of membership – the greater the benefits.

All members receive our newsletter (unless you opt out) which keeps you up to date with SPW news on workshops, exhibitions and other opportunities.

Choosing the membership which is right for you

Membership with Swansea Print Workshop allows access to our well-equipped printmaking studio for independent use during our Open Access sessions.  All levels of membership receive the following:

  • Discount on course fees

In addition, with:

Ordinary membership | £25.00 per annum

Keyholder membership | £150.00

Please contact us by email if you think Keyholder Membership may be the membership level right for you.

Keyholder members must be thoroughly conversant with the studio and the relevant equipment for the technique/s they work in as this level of membership carries responsibility for health and safety and security of the building while you are working independently. We have no staff so there is no technical support outside Open Access sessions. You will receive the same benefits as a Full member with additionally:

  • Reduced fees for Open Access sessions @ £1.50 an hour
  • Studio Access 24/7
  • An annual solo show in The Drawing Room or digital Gallery
  • Access to facilities at short notice (subject to contract)
