The Private Press is a contemporary screen printing studio, passionate about the endless possibilities of creative screen printing. 

We specialise in printing fine art editions for artists, designers and illustrators, and hosting screen printing workshops.

We work on a wide range of projects, from complex multi-colour prints to simple, graphic posters. But every job is approached in the same way: with a careful eye for detail and a true love for the process. We love to immerse ourselves in the detail of each project, collaborating closely with our clients to ensure that every print is of the highest quality.

We have printed work by: David Shrigley, Yoko Ono, Joe Lycett, Stanley Donwood, Ai Wei Wei, Anthony Burrill, Jeremy Deller, Pure Evil, Sanna Annukka, Paul Insect, Hot Chip, Morag Myerscough, Rose Blake, Gilles Peterson, Magda Archer, Joe Strummer, Eike Konig, Boy George, The Chemical Brothers, Eelus, The National Theatre.  

The studio is led by Creative Director Gary Parselle, whose 15+ years of screen printing expertise guide every stage of the process, from initial pre-production consultation right through to pulling each print by hand.

Beyond the studio, Gary runs workshops and live printing events, and has shared his knowledge with the next generation of artists and designers through talks and workshops at the University of Brighton, Chelsea College of Art and Falmouth University.

Prior to founding The Private Press, Gary spent years working across some of London's most prestigious graphic design and advertising agencies, where he developed a deep specialism in print production. That understanding of print and paper remains central to everything the studio creates today.

We are one of few modern studios dedicated only to screen printing. We love to work with specialist inks such as fluorescent, metallics, pearlescent, interference and glow inks. We also work with gloss varnishes, glitter, and gold leaf. We use water-based inks, and will always choose the most environmentally friendly papers.

We are proud to say work we have printed has appeared in the Royal Academy, The Design Museum and the Saatchi Gallery, and in notable galleries around the world.
