Swansea Print Workshop has a long history of engaging with young printmakers and groups in the community. Much of this is done through projects work which provides the links between practising artists and the community.
Part of our mission statement is to nurture these young printmakers and to encourage them to draw and print. We do small editions when working with youngsters and encourage them to sign of the editions professionally and we regularly exhibit their work alongside the printmaker members of the Workshop.
Editioning allows the school to keep one print from the edition to display, participants have some to take home and we keep one to display and for our archives.
We also sell these prints to put money back into the organisation to fund further project work
