Our latest online exhibition – Drawn From Life 2026 – features work from some of our regular life drawing group members.
“We’ve worked with some terrific models of all ages, shapes and genders and they’ve inspired this current exhibition. There’s no teaching, people just pitch up with whatever materials they want to bring and get stuck in with charcoal, pastels, pencils, paint, inks, chalks – if it can be smeared onto paper it’s fair game, with a huge diversity of styles.
We hope you enjoy looking at this new exhibition and here’s to the next quarter of a century of life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop.” Rosie Scribblah
Swansea Printmakers originated as Swansea Print Workshop’s response to the restrictions we were operating under due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its ongoing uncertainties. The dedicated online exhibition site offered our members and associates a space to exhibit work during these challenging times. It was also a place for artists to share their creative processes and printmaking techniques – a community of learning that SPW has always valued and encouraged in support of artistic development. We also feature here work of many artists in residence and exchange schemes we have benefited from in the last twenty years as part of our history. Today, this dedicated online space continues to offer those opportunities alongside our in-person programme of activities. It provides an accessible means to exhibit work – both for the artist and the viewer – as we continue to share our passion for printmaking and build on the depth and breadth of our substantial archive of prints and drawings.
