Michael Sims established The Lawrence Lithography Workshop in 1979 as a contract printing and teaching facility for local and regional artists. Based in Lawrence, Kansas, it provided a place where artists with little or no printmaking experience could collaborate with a master printer to produce original hand-pulled lithographs. Over time the workshop expanded its operation beyond contract printing, increasing its emphasis on printing and publishing national and regional artists.
Today TLLW, now located in Kansas City, Missouri, is one of the few privately owned, fine art publishing presses in the Midwest. Sims received his B.S. in Art from Western Michigan University (WMU) in 1968, followed by his M.F.A. in Printmaking in 1971 from Ohio University. In 1971 he began teaching lithography and drawing at the University of Kansas (KU).
He has also held adjunct teaching positions at WMU, El Centro de Ensenanza Graficas (Center for the Study of Graphic Arts) in Caracas, Venezuela, and Western New Mexico University.
