Behind the scenes with Ria
As well as writing poetry, Ria has been working hard behind the scenes to create new original screen prints.
Ria says: “I’m wanted to start up my own little business for a long time to be able to slowly sell my own screen printed artwork & handmade products I’ve made over past couple months. All the money will be going towards good cause Pyramid what help artists with learning disabilities & autism.”
As well as working at the Pyramid Studio, Ria is a member at Leeds Print Workshop. She prints on both paper and fabric and her work varies from text based screen printing to pattern and repeats screen printed from her own photography.
“I like going to Leeds Print Workshop to screen print, it gets me out and about. I like working from the Pyramid studio but I like a change of scene too. It’s inspiring. There is more choice of equipment there for printing with. It is also nice to be working with someone different, to share ideas and learn new things.”
