The Society of Wood Engravers returns to the North Wall this October to open its national touring exhibition with an entirely new selection of amazing prints. Over one hundred wood engravings, woodcuts and linocuts made by artists as near as Summertown to as far away as Beijing showcase the wide range of effects and interpretations this art form is capable of. But traditional or experimental in approach, these prints all have one thing in common; an astonishing level of virtuosity and intensity distilled into exquisitely rendered images.

The SWE Annual is always stringently selected, choosing only the best from a large open submission, but while standards are always high, prices can be surprisingly modest; this original “affordable art”, has prices starting from £50 for a limited edition print, offering something for every taste and budget.
