The Lemonade Press is an independent lithography studio in Bristol, England, offering lithographic printmaking, plate graining and print courses.
We are a brand new printmaking studio in Bristol dedicated to hand lithography and we are the only print studio in the area offering this unique process. We work closely with artists to realise their ideas. Offering facilities for stone, plate and photo-plate lithography to use as a collaborative editioning service for artists. Studio access is also available for experienced lithographers to work independently.
The studio has the unique asset of a plate graining machine which provides an essential service for lithographers in the UK. We supply aluminium and zinc ball-grained plates to Universities, Colleges, open-access workshops and private presses.
Lithography Courses
We run detailed courses in both stone and ball-grained plate lithography, with tutoring from an experienced instructor. Artists can learn the process of lithography and expand their art practise and learn new printing techniques.
We have a group lithography course scheduled for March 2021.
