Loligo is an independent screenprinting studio based in De Beauvoir, London. We love screenprinting by hand, from the tactile nature of the prints to the way the ink sits on the paper, however, the real beauty of screenprinting this way is that the slight variations give each print a distinctive handcrafted feel.
Here at Loligo we seek to experiment with the medium of printing transgressing the boundaries and traditional notions of print in an age of untouchable digital media. We do this though self initiated work, commissions, exhibitions and collaborations with other artists. These can be seen in the projects section of our website.
Using our experience and love of screenprinting we also provide an affordable print service to clients nationally.
We’re looking for an experienced screenprinter to come and help us out at Loligo HQ on a freelance basis, download the Job Description for more info.

I recently collaborated with the lovely Holly Wales on a series of pieces for an exhibition of large-format posters at Fallon, Great Titchfield Street . Holly selected some images from her very large collection of photocopies, handed them to me in A0 giving me free range to experiment with printing over the top. I used this as an opportunity to print in a very analogue way by exposing cut our shapes and images hand drawn directly on to the acetate on to the screens. I then played with different transparencies of ink, colour blends, the contrast between matt and glossy inks as well as overlapping shapes from one sheet of paper to the next to suit the brief.
