Bio

Swan River Print Studio is an artist-run initiative dedicated to printmaking founded in 2018. The studio is typically comprised of ten or so core members, with other printmakers regularly using the studio on a sessional basis for special projects, collaborations or workshops.

Members engage in a wide range of traditional and experimental printmaking techniques. With opportunities amongst the group for synergies to develop and for members to be inspired by each other’s practice and experimentation – a diverse range of works are produced celebrating colour, line, form, the beauty of abstraction, the natural world and more.

The studio houses two large historical presses, both of which had to be dismantled and craned into the studio piece by piece and reassembled.
