The Melbourne-based Australian boutique screen printer and print gallery, where these artists print work for other artists, was born in 2010, when the husband and wife team returned to their home city after a stint in Europe.

Specializing in fine-art screen printing, Chris and Megan print on a number of media including wood, canvas, glass and film, but favour paper printing.

They endeavour to maintain the highest level of quality and workmanship by collaborating with each artist to produce the best possible screen print. They often work with each artist personally to help establish a basic understanding of screen printing and highlight the qualities the medium can bring to the artwork.

Dangerfork uses a hand-pulled screen-printing process, and prints using environmentally friendly water-based inks. Because everything is done by hand, there are many variables that can have an impact on the final product, but that's simply part of the charm of screen printing. Every print is unique and is numbered and embossed with the Dangerfork seal. Dangerfork sells a selection of limited-edition prints by Australian and International artists through its studio outlet in Melbourne (Australia).
