Learn to make your own prints with artist-printmaker Helen Arthur in her stone-built two-storey studio in the stunning Olchon Valley on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. Or you can pop in to view her gallery of local landscape paintings and shop for nature-inspired artwork, greetings cards and notebooks.

Half-day or full day printmaking workshops are open to all, whether you’re a complete beginner or lapsed expert, aged 5 to 105! No drawing skills required. Groups of 5 maximum. Helen supports you through every stage of the process in her well equipped studio. This an ideal creative break experience for the entire family; take home several copies of your own unique artwork ready to frame.

There's local pubs, The Crown nearby or The Bridge in Michaelchurch Escley, if you want to combine your visit with a pub meal. The area also offers excellent walking and wildlife spotting along Offa's Dyke and the Cat's Back, with views across Herefordshire and over to South Wales.

We're in the fabulous Olchon Valley beneath Offa’s Dyke on the Welsh-English border. Skirrid Studio & Gallery, Longtown, HR2 0LD, is on the corner of Greyhound Close in the heart of the village. The studio has its own entrance next to Glyneath House, just before the village hall.

Caring For The Planet

At Skirrid Studio & Gallery we use non-toxic printing inks and responsibly sourced paper and card. We recycle all our paper waste and avoid plastic packaging as far as possible. Every year, artist Helen Arthur sells an edition of prints and gives all monies to homeless charities.

Skirrid Studio & Gallery Recommends

From the doorstep of the studio you can take a 40-minute circular river walk that includes a lovely view of Longtown castle. You'll see some wonderful wild flower meadows and sloe hedges (great for our Christmas gin). But, shhh, don't tell anyone!!!
