The Penfold Press

Dan Bugg studied printmaking at the Royal College of Art. He launched the Penfold Press in 2006 as a printmaking studio and publisher of Original Prints. Since then he has regularly worked with a select group of artists to create beautifully editioned prints that are sought-after by collectors and art lovers alike.

“When working at the Penfold Press the energy and sense of enjoyment you get from working with others is infectious, the print studio is usually a fun place to be with collaboration and shared endeavour being at the heart of everything I do. I’ve always wanted that spirit to help the Penfold Press grow and I think one of its great strengths is the sense that we are all in it together, artist and printmaker working as one to help develop and realise an idea. There is no hierarchy or ego involved. All the artists are incredibly supportive and keen to collaborate and share ideas. The studio itself isn’t a huge commercial space; instead it’s a place where artists, family and friends come together. I regard all the artists I work with as good friends, we have a mutual enthusiasm for collaboration and we enjoy what we do. Hopefully this comes through in the finished print and it, in turn, finds an audience.”
