About Jonathan
Jonathan Comerford is presently residing and working in London, United Kingdom.
I am a freestyle master printmaker, since 2006 I have been active in producing and exhibiting my work in both London and South Africa. I am also an independent printmaker, Hard Ground Printmakers, who collaborates and publishes prints for artists living, working or visiting London.
I provide a bespoke collaborative print program to assist artists to produce quality prints in a professionally equipped print studio. Also I provide a wide range of technical skills from hand applied methods to digital processing.
I am currently working as the incumbent printmaker at Pellafort Press, a silkscreen print studio specializing in large format printing, in Brixton, London.
