Studio Visit – Lazarides Printmaking studio in Wapping

July 8, 2011 butterfly

See my coverage in Juxtapoz

Overlooking the River Thames in London, Wapping offers large warehouse spaces to an ever growing artistic community, so it’s no surprise to see Lazarides Gallery relocate their Printmaking operation when they outgrew their makeshift basement studio in Soho.

The Laz printing studio produces exclusive small run editions, hand finished screenprints, HPM (hand finished multiples) and works on paper for a multitude of artists like Antony Micallef, 3D, Paul Insect, Zevs, Ron English, Conor Harrington, Mode2, Jonathan Yeo, and Boogie to name a few. Some of the prints produced here will be sent to Los Angeles for upcoming shows at Lazarides’ new venture PNB, Post No Bills.

It was exciting to see the different stages of the manual printing process, and also bumping into artist Stanley Donwood who was checking and signing his latest series of prints.
