At The North Wall Exhibition: The Society of Wood Engravers The SWE returns to The North Wall this autumn to present an entirely new selection of over one hundred relief prints. This year’s exhibition includes wood engravings, linocuts and woodcuts by some of finest printmakers from this country and abroad. Uniting them is a commitment to making images which combine personal vision with delight in using an exacting medium. The exhibition is chosen by a jury of three engravers, who select from Society submissions and those aspiring to membership, including young engravers whose work often pushes the boundaries of printmaking. The exhibition runs until 1st October. SUNDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER Compline by Candlelight 9.10–9.45pm, Chapel
