Seacourt print workshop exhibition
Artists from Bangor-based Seacourt Print Workshop (SPW) will exhibit a range of original prints themed around the environment at The Graffan Gallery between Saturday 12 to Sunday 27 March.
Established in 1981 by Jean Duncan and Margaret Arthur, SPW has grown steadily over the past thirty years and now has over 60 artist members. The organisation provides opportunities for technical and professional development of artists of all abilities. Resources include facilities to create original works of art in traditional and experimental print media, including etching, lithography, screen-printing, relief printing and digital printmaking.
Through a sustained, high-quality programme of international artists’ residencies, public courses, symposia, targeted outreach and exhibitions SPW has established itself as one of the leading artist printmaking resources in the UK. SPW has adopted a non toxic approach to printmaking and is committed to researching new methods of printmaking which preserve the health of the artist and the environment whilst maintaining a high quality of print finish.
Professional Development, Education and Research will remain at the heart of SPW’s activities as it forges innovative new partnerships with non-arts organisations, educational institutions and the business sector. All of which serves its central aim of promoting Fine Art Printmaking to as wide a public as possible. This exhibition is one of a series of events celebrating SPW’s 30th anniversary.
