This year we are celebrating 25 years – a huge milestone for a small organisation!
In 2025, through a number of special activities and events, we will celebrate and showcase the creativity and energy of our members and the visiting artists who have contributed to the amazing printmaking that has taken place at 19a Clarence Street over the years.
We will also be offering our usual exciting and varied Workshop Programme, exhibiting members’ work and leading MiniPrint Cymru | Wales alongside the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art in 2025/26.
We look forward to a fantastic year ahead and we warmly welcome everyone to take part in an activity or event and share in our celebrations.

Prints by Paul Peter Piech and artwork by Hilary Powell, produced by the Josef Herman Art Foundation Cymru are also featured.
MiniPrint Cymru | Wales | A Wales-wide, collaborative initiative created to raise the profile of printmaking in Wales. Alongside artists across Wales, SPW members and the wider artist community in Swansea and south Wales are invited to submit small-scale prints for an exhibition. SUBMISSIONS OPEN SOON.
As a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation without core funding, the support of our volunteers and members has been key to our journey to where we are now.
Since the very beginning, SPW has been very community-focused – not just the printmaking community but the wider creative and local community. We encourage everyone to make prints!
In About Us and our Archives you can find out how SPW began, its ethos and all the fantastic projects that we have delivered over the years including our other milestone anniversary – 15 Years People and Printmaking.
