About Magpie Printworks

Magpie Printworks designs, prints and sells short runs of screenprints.

It is operated by Matt Jones, a designer based in South-East London. He produces the work at the wonderful Sonsoles Print Studio in Peckham, London.

Matt began in print and design as a teenager in Porthcawl, South Wales, working at a local print shop after school and weekends. He installed and ran their first Macintosh SE30, Quark Xpress V1.0 and Laserwriter Plus.

His dad Emrys was obsessed with Magpies and ran a framing workshop which the family lived above. One of his customers and friends was world-renowned lino & woodcut artist Paul Peter Piech. Magpie Printworks hopes to be a small tribute to both of them through the work.
