Daniel Bugg is the founder of Penfold Press, a printmaking studio and publisher based near York. After graduating from The Royal College of Art in 2000, Dan shifted his focus away from his own work and towards collaborative printmaking. He acts as both publisher and printer, and this dual role has allowed him to support and develop printmaking with a small group of like-minded artists. Working alongside Dan, the artist is encouraged to develop a sense of playfulness and explore the creative possibilities of printmaking.
Dan fosters a collaborative environment, prioritising spontaneity and the unique qualities of screen printing, particularly the layering of transparent colours, to help the artist achieve their vision. This has resulted in a body of work that shares a sense of joint endeavour and celebrates the collaborative process.
One of the great strengths of the Penfold Press is the sense that we are all in it together, artist and printmaker working as one to develop and realise an idea. The studio itself is not a huge commercial space. Instead, it is a place where artists, family, and friends often come together. This sense of family enhances the feeling of togetherness and offers an alternative to commercial printing.
