Chances to buy unique Tracey Emin and Derek Boshier works for a price that won't mean morgaging your house don't come along very often, writes Graham Moody.

Happily for Wandsworth residents though, the relaunch of a studio and its gallery next Thursday will provide just that opportunity as well as an intriguing insight into the printmaking process.

Simon Lawson's unique Print (vb.n) gallery has been renamed Huguenot Editions and to celebrate its launch, Lawson is spending a month exhibiting and selling works of artists he has collaborated with over the past year - which include Ivor Abrahams, Eileen Cooper, Emin, Boshier, June Redfern, Danny Rolph and Bob and Roberta Smith.

"The vb.n (verbal noun) bit of the name before was because it is both a studio and a gallery," says printmaker Simon, who also teaches at the Royal Academy Schools.

"It is where we make the prints (which are all man-made using an old mangle printing press) and sell the prints, so you can walk around the production areas as well as looking at the pieces on show.

"It's a bit unique in that way, there are places that produce prints that have a showing space but I don't think there is anywhere where it's actually the same space."

Simon, who moved to London from Grimsby in the early 1980s to do a degree in printmaking at Wimbledon School of Art, made the decision to relaunch following an uprise in the amount of collaborations he was undertaking.

"I have worked with more and more artists over the last few years and decided that now was a good time to relaunch the whole gallery side of it," explains Simon ahead of the In Conversation exhibition.

"The artists work with me and we publish the prints through the studio as opposed to me just working with them to print them to go to a gallery.

"The collection at the show is a collaboration of the pieces I have worked on and some of the artist I have worked with over these 12 months.

"With these prints it's not that you have an original print or drawing and reproduce it, the original is the work we make - the artist and the print-maker.

"They are etched on to a copper plate and that impression is then transferred to damp paper which is then dried.

"They are all hand painted in the same manner that would have been used by Rembrandt and Picasso, it's that sort of hands on production.

"Every piece is inked up and printed individually so they have an individual quality to them and uniqueness in themselves.

"It's usually small editions, so 20 to 50 prints and all are hand signed in pencil."
