Rural Stiwdio 2025
Rural Stiwdio is Peak’s creative programme for 14-18 year old’s. In school holidays, and on the third Wednesday of every month, we host free, hands-on workshops where you can explore different ways artists imagine, make and respond to the world around them. At Rural Stiwdio, you’ll learn new skills, share ideas, and experiment with what art can be — no experience needed.
In 2025 young people experimented with writing, printmaking, photography, zine-making, costume, sculpture, sound and performance. Together, they explored ways to connect more deeply with the places we live; they mapped rivers and stories; thought about creative responses to the ecological crisis; built machines that interrupt the endless ‘doom scroll’ and created playful inventions for moments of shared celebration.
Workshops were led by artists and collaborators including George Hampton-Wale, Casey Bailey, Mariana Zentella, Ben F Roberts, Katie Wintle, Paul Granjon, Gweni Llwyd, Liaqat Rasul, Gwenllian Davenport and Felix Stevenson-Davies.
Before Rural Stiwdio, there was Play/Ground.
This programme is supported by ACW and Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
Rural Stiwdio yw rhaglen greadigol Peak i bobl ifanc rhwng 14-18 oed. Yn ystod gwyliau’r ysgol, ac ar bob trydydd Dydd Mercher o’r mis, rydym yn cynnal gweithdai ymarferol rhad ac am ddim lle y bydd modd i chi brofi’r gwahanol ffyrdd y mae artistiaid yn dychmygu, creu ac ymateb i’r byd o’u hamgylch. Gyda Rural Stiwdio, byddwch yn dysgu sgiliau newydd, yn rhannu syniadau ac yn arbrofi gyda’r hyn y gall celf fod – does dim angen unrhyw brofiad.
Yn 2025 bu pobl ifanc yn arbrofi gyda sgwennu, argraffu, ffotograffiaeth, creu zines, gwisgoedd, cerflunio, sain a pherfformio. Gyda’i gilydd, buon nhw’n archwilio ffyrdd o adnabod y llefydd lle’r ydym ni’n byw; drwy fapio afonydd a straeon; drwy ystyried ymatebion creadigol i’r argyfwng ecolegol; drwy adeiladu peiriannau sy’n tarfu ar y ‘doom scroll’ diddiwedd, a thrwy greu dyfeisiadau chwareus er mwyn gallu cyd-ddathlu.
Cafodd y gweithdai eu harwain gan artistiaid a chydweithwyr oedd yn cynnwys George Hampton-Wale, Casey Bailey, Mariana Zentella, Ben F Roberts, Katie Wintle, Paul Granjon, Gweni Llwyd, Liaqat Rasul, Gwenllian Davenport a Felix Stevenson-Davies.
Cyn Rural Stiwdio, roedd Play/Ground.
