Location: Education Room

Calling all makers - come to Ruthin Craft Centre for a two-day intensive professional development course. Bring examples of your work and a willingness to share.

Michael says, ‘What I find endlessly fascinating on any workshop are the personal areas of research that participants bring to the group.’ Speak and be heard. Listen and be informed.


This course presents an opportunity to:

  • Share our creativity creatively
  • Share problem-solving strategies
  • Mentor and be mentored
  • Explore group sector concerns on making and showing work
  • Discuss individual work within a wider informed critical and supportive framework


Up for discussion are issues of scale, media, translation, context, display and presentation. Should a work be framed, suspended, sculptural, wall hung? Is an installation related to a specific locality, space, or museum collection? Is a work permanent, time based, temporary or designed to auto-destruct? What strategies do we employ to promote, record, photograph, market and document our work? What are the differences between group and solo exhibitions? Are international competitions important, desirable aids to find new audiences, or an expensive undertaking? What is the importance of presentation in relation to commissions and exhibitions? What about the role of risk and projects that could be defined as continuous education i.e., research based with no certainty of any tangible outcome - is that an issue or not?


Thinking Space will address the above questions and more over a two-day intensive exchange.

Gofod Meddwl

gyda Michael Brennand-Wood

Dydd Sadwrn 10eg a Dydd Sul 11eg Hydref 2026

10.30am - 4.30pm y ddau ddiwrnod

£30 (Yn cynnwys te a choffi) Cefnogir gan Gronfa Goffa Sara Richards

Grŵp Oedran - Oedolion

Lleoliad: Ystafell Addysg

Yn galw ar bob gwneuthurwr - dewch i Ganolfan Grefft Rhuthun ar gyfer cwrs datblygiad proffesiynol dwys deuddydd. Dewch ag enghreifftiau o'ch gwaith a pharodrwydd i rannu.

Dywed Michael, ‘Yr hyn sy’n hynod ddiddorol i mi ar unrhyw weithdy yw’r meysydd ymchwil personol y mae cyfranogwyr yn dod â nhw i’r grŵp.’ Siaradwch a chael eich clywed. Gwrandewch a chael gwybod.


Mae’r cwrs hwn yn rhoi cyfle i:

  • Rhannu ein creadigrwydd yn greadigol
  • Rhannu strategaethau datrys problemau
  • Mentora a chael eich mentora
  • Archwilio pryderon y sector grŵp ar wneud a dangos Gwaith
  • Trafod gwaith unigol o fewn fframwaith beirniadol a chefnogol gwybodus ehangach


Ar gyfer trafodaeth mae materion maint, cyfryngau, cyfieithu, cyd-destun, arddangosiad a chyflwyniad. A ddylai gwaith gael ei fframio, ei grogi, ei gerfluniol, ei hongian ar y wal? A yw gosodiad yn ymwneud â lleoliad, gofod neu gasgliad amgueddfa penodol? A yw gwaith yn barhaol, yn seiliedig ar amser, dros dro neu wedi'i gynllunio i ddinistrio'n awtomatig? Pa strategaethau ydyn ni'n eu defnyddio i hyrwyddo, cofnodi, tynnu lluniau, marchnata a dogfennu ein gwaith? Beth yw'r gwahaniaethau rhwng arddangosfeydd grŵp, ac unigol?

A yw cystadlaethau rhyngwladol yn bwysig, yn gymhorthion dymunol i ddod o hyd i gynulleidfaoedd newydd, neu'n ymgymeriad drud? Beth yw pwysigrwydd cyflwyno mewn perthynas â chomisiynau ac arddangosfeydd? Beth am rôl risg a phrosiectau y gellid eu diffinio fel addysg barhaus h.y., yn seiliedig ar ymchwil heb unrhyw sicrwydd o unrhyw ganlyniad diriaethol - a yw hynny'n broblem ai peidio?


Bydd Gofod Meddwl yn mynd i’r afael â’r cwestiynau uchod a mwy dros gyfnod cyfnewid dwys dau ddiwrnod.
