Join Ruth for a workshop full of collage and inky creativity to create some beautiful prints on the theme of the landscape and wildlife of the Clwydian Range!
Date: 25th April 2026
Time: 10am – 1pm
Venue: Education Room, Ruthin Craft Centre
Cost: £30 per person
Ruth will provide examples of prints and explain the process of constructing a printing plate. Using a drawing or photograph as a starting point, we will make simple line drawings on card, then cut up the drawings to create printing plates using collage; additional lines and textures can be created with thread, tape and biro.
Ruth will demonstrate how to ink your plates with a roller and print them on a portable etching press, to make original prints to take home. Black and white prints look stunning but there is also the option to work with colour.
Feel free to bring a drawing or photograph with you as the starting point for your print. Additional photographs will be available.
No previous experience required. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, this workshop welcomes everyone.
All printmaking materials and equipment will be provided. Wear old clothes or bring an apron. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.
Ruth is a printmaker based in the Vale of Clwyd. She is a member of the RCA Conwy and the Makers Guild in Wales. She has been making prints using collage for many years and runs workshops for groups of all ages.
