MiniPrint Cymru | Wales | News & Activities

MiniPrint Cymru | Wales is a Wales-wide initiative. In 2025/26, artists and printmakers are encouraged to take part by submitting small-scale work.

The four Regional Partners will also be running Community Participation workshops. More information on the Regional Partners can be found here.

We share highlights of activity and news across the regions below.

JUNE 2025 | Regional Partners News & Activities Round-Up

The community workshops have begun to take place across the regions with The Regional Print Centre first to deliver a workshop in March with students from Coleg Cambria. 

… Our first workshop went well … the [participants] really enjoyed the day and … went away having learned more about lino printing and registration. Nigel Morris, RPC, re Coleg Cambria Students Workshop

And with the Mums and Toddlers Foundation:

Today’s art session was truly incredible — such a mentally refreshing experience! Stepping away from the usual routine of work, kids, and house chores to try something new was exactly what I needed. It was a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with myself and explore my creative side. Workshop Participant, Mums and Toddlers Foundation 

SPW have also begun delivering workshops through their Annual Workshop programme with a number of lead artists.

A great range of techniques have been offered by the Regional Partners so far – linocut, cyanotype, monoprinting, collagraph, drypoint, screenprinting – showing the versatility of printmaking and how different techniques can easily be applied to working in small scale.

Royal Cambrian delivered their first community workshop at the end of the month and further community workshops are planned during June in all regions with some additional cost-recovery workshops being offered by Swansea Print Workshop and Aberystwyth Printmakers.
