RH Prints aka Ruth Hudson Linocuts

RH Prints aka Ruth Hudson is an experimental print maker and painter. 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 also holds Beginners lino print workshops throughout the year. Her next event will take place on 6th June at The Blonde Beet in Stamford http://www.blondebeet.co.uk

RH Prints aka Ruth Hudson also screen prints a limited edition t shirt and sweatshirt range using her original prints. Using eco friendly inks, the designs are printed on to organic ethical cotton. Ruth is hoping to have her new collection ready in time for the Peterborough Open Studios.
