It all began with a creative community
When Helen Arthur set up a printmaking studio in the area in 2019 she couldn’t help noticing just how many artists and makers live in the Olchon and Golden valleys, on the edge of Herefordshire.
She quickly developed valued creative friendships. So with collaboration in mind, she secured government funding to run two weekends of arts and heritage events for March 2025.
