Founded in 2018 by Jo Darvall, Annemie McAulif and Claire Lawson as a professional working space where members can develop and refine their printmaking practice, the Swan River Print Studio is a not-for-profit organisation developed and managed by artists. Members engage in a wide range of traditional and experimental printmaking techniques and exhibit together on an annual basis. In addition, the studio has sessional membership which enables other printmakers to use the facilities; special projects which facilitate project-specific use of the printmaking facilities by other artists, collaborative projects and open workshops run by studio members or commissioned with visiting printmakers. The studio houses a large 1950s etching press and an 1857 Columbian Press.

The studio is located on Whadjuk Nyoongar country in the Gyinning Ellenbrook Building at Goolugatup Heathcote, and is regularly open to the public on Goolugatup market days.
