ABOUT US

Founded in 1859, Lawrence has been a trusted name in the art world for over 160 years, known for our carefully curated selection of high-quality art supplies, from painting materials to specialised printmaking tools.

We’re especially proud of our extensive printmaking range, offering everything you need for wood engraving, lino printing, etching, lithography, and screen printing.

In 2024 Jackson’s Art Supplies acquired Lawrence. The two companies share many similarities and complement the other’s strengths. Lawrence brings an unmatched selection of printmaking and paper supplies to Jackson’s, and Jackson’s will introduce exciting new art materials to Lawrence. After more than 165 years in the art supplies industry, the Lawrence family is thrilled to ensure the legacy of the company in Jackson’s capable hands for a bright future ahead.
