Brief history
In May 1975, we launched Paddington Printshop, a community arts organisation in west London.

‘Among the most compelling burst of creative energy in the realm of the political poster post-1968, the body of work created by Paddington Printshop in the 1970s and 1980s is as fresh and relevant as it was 40 years ago.’
In May 1991, we expanded to become London Print Workshop, a regional printmaking resource working with artists and local communities.

In May 2000, we opened londonprintstudio a purpose-built gallery and printmaking facility, which flourished until 2020 when a combination of Covid19 and diminishing Arts Council support precipitated the faciliy’s closure.
Ever optimistic we have changed our name to lps21, and building on four decades of visual art and community engagement, we are developing an exciting range of web-based projects and resources.
In May 2024 we are launching Museum of Unrest an online educational resource supporting artists designers and communities engaged with social and environmental justice.
