TWELVE ORIGINAL PRINTS
TWELVE PRINTMAKERS FROM SWANSEA PRINT WORKSHOP HAVE COLLABORATED IN A PROJECT TO MARK THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF DYLAN THOMAS’S DEATH IN NOVEMBER 1953.
Each artist has produced an original print based on Dylan Thomas’s ‘especially when the october wind’, a poem that has a special significance for Swansea. These prints form a boxed set and have been handprinted by the artists in a limited edition of one hundred.
An exhibition of the prints was launched at the Dylan Thomas Centre, Swansea in May 2003, in the presence of Aeronwy Thomas, the poet’s daughter. The exhibition will tour during 2003 and 2004 visiting other venues in Wales and the UK. It was also previewed in Brussels at the Welsh Assembly Government’s 'Wales Week' in March 2003.
It is anticipated that it will travel to New York in November 2003 where Dylan Thomas had such special ties.
