The Artists' Press
Description edit
Excerpted from the website:
- About Us
- In 1991 The Artists' Press opened its doors in Newtown, Johannesburg, under the direction of Tamarind Master Printer, Mark Attwood. The Artists' Press started as a lithography studio providing artists in southern Africa with a workshop dedicated to the production of limited edition hand printed lithographs. 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. In 2003 The Artists' Press relocated to a farming area just outside of White River in Mpumalanga. In the purpose built studio the press now offers lithography, letterpress, intaglio, mono-printing and relief printing. Mark Attwood is the director of the studio and is the Master Printer. He has worked in the printing field since 1981, apprenticing in his father's print shop (The Broederstroom Press), and later trained in hand printing at Lowick House Print Workshop (UK) and at Tamarind Institute (USA). Printer, Joseph Legate joined the press in 1999 after completing his secondary school education, and plans to get an internationally recognised qualification in lithography once he has completed his apprenticeship. Assistants, Knowledge Lebyane and Selby Msimang, joined the press when it moved to White River.
