The Artists' Press
The Artists’ Press is a South African professional studio dedicated to working with artists to make limited-edition prints. Mark Attwood set up the press thirty years ago in 1991 after qualifying as a master printer at the Tamarind Institute (University of New Mexico, USA). Since its inception, the press has grown steadily and today offers a variety of print processes to artists as well as publishing and selling original prints and artists books via its website and studio. The Artists' Press is dedicated to bringing you the finest limited edition original prints available in southern Africa. We are off-grid and solar-powered and are committed to doing as much as we can to combat the climate crisis.
Our focus is on hand-printed lithographs that are printed by master printers in collaboration with artists. We use acid-free paper and the most light-fast inks available, taking the utmost care to ensure that the work is of the highest possible standard. All editions are carefully curated and documented and are signed, titled and numbered in pencil by the artist. Once editions have been printed and signed, the plate or stone is defaced thereby preserving the integrity of the edition and ensuring that no second editions can be printed. Documentation sheets are available, on request, for all editions printed at the studio. All the prints made at The Artists' Press are original prints and do not exist in any other form. They are conceived as multiples by the artists and are hand-printed in limited editions.
