The Caversham Press was founded in 1985 to afford South African artists access to a professional coll

The Caversham Press was established in 1985, by Malcolm Christian in the picturesque Caversham Valley just outside Howick, South Africa. The location of Caversham signalled that The Press was to be an unconventional player in the art world. It was not situated in an urban metropolis but in the countryside in an old, decommissioned Wesleyan Methodist Church on a hill above the rushing Lions River.

Reading the responses to the closing of Caversham Press has been truly humbling. Thank you all. The ending of the Caversham dream has begun the process of unbundling the studio, finding suitable homes for precious pieces of equipment gathered over more than fifty years. This whilst remembering the technical challenges that each artist's image required, some more successful than others, but each leaving imprint on paper and memory. Some memories accompanied by the shadows of good intentions hovering around things left incomplete - now with the uncomfortable realization that we cannot go back. That this was a life lived.
However, all said, the most important and precious aspects were the relationships formed; the trust given and nurtured through the time spent collaborating in the realization of image and project during single or multiple visits to the Caversham studio. So your responses provide me with the understanding that the valued legacy of a life rests in the memories that others carry forward. It is with immense gratitude that I take these to heart.
