Artist Ruth Hudson is a printmaker and painter based in Stamford. Her original linocuts are printed on an 1856 lithograph press from her home studio in Stamford. After studying Combined Arts at Newcastle University, Ruth went on to train at the Chelsea School of Art and the Leicester Print Workshop. Her work is influenced by her previous career working in Interior and fashion magazine production. She is inspired by German Abstract Expressionism and Bauhaus Aesthetics. Ruth has produced prints of many local landscapes including Burghley House, Normanton Church, Oakham Market Square and distinctive buildings in an around Stamford. Ruth uses the 'reduction' method of printmaking, favoured by Pablo Picasso who coined the term 'suicide printing'. Her work is often bold and graphic and hopes to reflect current trends and, quietly, offer a form of social commentary. Ruth has recently trained at the University of the Arts, London and completed a portrait painting course. https://www.instagram.com/ruthhudsonartist/ You can subscribe to Ruth's newsletter to be the first to know about forthcoming events and workshop via http://www.rhprints.com Artist Ruth Hudson also hand screen prints limited edition t shirts using her original prints.

[caption id="attachment_23236" align="alignnone" width="322"] Dehlia in her studio[/caption] Dehlia Barnard-Edmunds is a printmaker/creative, exploring the diverse and exciting world of print. Currently, she is enjoying the process of linocut printing, monotypes, screen printing on paper and textiles plus collaging.   Dehlia has displayed her work at venues across the country and welcomes the public to her workspace during PAOS Open Studios weekends and also by appointment. Becoming a recent member of Leicester Print Workshop, Dehlia has been able to broaden her knowledge and practice to interpret her designs using other modes of printmaking such as silkscreen printing using CMYK, a four colour layered approach. Taking her inspiration mainly from what excites and interests her in her rural surroundings, Dehlia's drawings and watercolour sketches form the basis of designs that are then carefully printed by hand. Ask her about any of her works and Dehlia will be happy to tell you the tale behind it. Recent works include collages inspired by her ever growing collection of ceramics using papers created from cleaning off her print making tools. The colours and textures created were simply too beautiful not to include in her artworks! Current work is interspersed with small linocut prints inspired by her travels. These tiny studies are printed using her Adana Press, a small press originally designed for letterpress printing. I wonder if you can guess where she has been... Dehlia is an experienced teacher offering classes and tutorials, which can be discussed on your visit. The garden is open and refreshments offered.

Welcome to Open Studios 2025. Do you know my work? If so I'm sure I'll see you during open studios again, can't wait to catch up. If not, I hope you appreciate what I do and look forward to introducing you to some of my memories. Each drawing is created initially in a few minutes and captures whatever happens in front of me. Completing them is another story and can take a lot longer. I'm exhibiting with Jeni Cairns and we're looking forward to another wonderful few weekends of Open Studios. I'm so grateful to Jeni to give me space and provide her beautiful garden for us to relax in. Life has no meaning for me without creativity. Illustration is what I love. Since moving to Peterborough over ten years ago I've practiced quick illustration of everyday life as it happens, usually from one of the hundreds of benches around the city of Peterborough. I love that I have something so creative in my life. My work is very loose, illustrative and distinctive. As well as bench views I paint on fabric and my practice includes weekly mindful drawings. Some of my photos of my work leave a lot to the imagination so you'd be very welcomed if you came to visit open studios and see them in person. Jeni is a wonderful natural gardener so they're lots for everyone. Come chat, wander and have refreshments, not forgetting all the conversation in the world, if you want it, about art, life and nature.   Looking forward to another great open studios. Best wishes, Lynne

I am a mosaic and textile artist working in Peterborough. In mosaics I use hand cut patterned, plain and mirrored glass with recycled ceramics. I create panels for indoors or outdoors, mirrors, vases and hangings. I just love experimenting with colour and its interactions in my mosaic and textile work and both feed off each other. In 2002 I did a 5 day intensive mosaic course under the tuition of Luciana Notturni at www.mosaicschool.com in Ravenna Italy. Although based on traditional methods it gave me confidence to experiment and find my own style. I love mixing glass with old ceramics, anything really that makes a piece cohesive. With textiles I layer silks and sheers and create new surfaces which I then free machine stitch.
