SMUT Press

SMUT Press is a collective print publishing project by Jack Scollard and Jordan Hearns founded in early 2022, based between Dublin and London. The aim of the press is to spotlight, support and commission queer artists to produce printed matter in order to generate greater recognition and representation of their work. The press aspires to offer a support network for those wishing to create printed matter in an informal, supportive and encouraging environment. Alongside the printed matter series, the press also runs an electronic music mix series.

Since launching in February of last year, they have grown considerably more than we could have imagined, with 8 stockists across the UK, Ireland, and Europe, including Donlon Books, Tenderbooks, Village Books, and VOO Store, amongst others.

They have some really exciting projects coming up in the next few months, including a zine by Jack, a postcard project featuring works by 10 different queer artists, and a collaboration with Irish artist Brian Teeling which utilises archival Irish queer imagery and ephemera in a contemporary manner.
