Te Kowhai Print Trust

The Trust’s aim is to preserve traditional Printmaking equipment and to teach printmaking skills that are in danger of being lost.

Of particular pride to Te Kowhai Print Trust is its Lithographic studio that houses two, now rare, Lithographic presses and some 200 million year old stones. This 200-year-old technique was the forerunner to modern day Offset printing, but is now exclusively the domain of creative artists who produce strictly limited editions of their images. They are then hand-printed onto the best Mould-made linen paper that has a life expectancy of several hundred years.
