Tetra-pak Intaglio Printmaking

Tetra-pak Intaglio Printmaking

£15

In this in-person day workshop, you’ll learn how to create intaglio printing plates using recycled Tetra-Pak containers (think milk, oat milk, or juice cartons). This technique is similar to drypoint, but uses everyday materials to produce beautiful and unique prints.

You’ll use metal tools and craft knives to cut and scratch your design into the surface, developing your image throughout the day and embracing the natural textures and unexpected marks that emerge in the process.

All tools, equipment and materials are provided. If you have a specific image you’d like to translate into a print, feel free to bring it along.

You’re welcome to bring a packed lunch, or you can purchase hot food from the café at the Hwb.

This workshop is ideal for beginners wanting to learn the basics of printmaking, as well as more experienced artists looking to create work in a shared, supportive environment. All experience levels are welcome.

Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds to Speak at Hwb y Gors

Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds to Speak at Hwb y Gors

We’re pleased to announce that Hwb y Gors will host Jane Dodds, Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, as part of Community Energy Wales’ series of pre‑election events with party leaders. As long-standing members of Community Energy Wales, and as a Community Energy charity ourselves,  we’re proud to offer Hwb y Gors as a venue for this important  conversation. Community Energy Wales recently launched its Community Energy Manifesto for the 2026 Senedd elections, shaped through extensive input from community groups across Wales. The manifesto sets out key policy proposals to strengthen community ownership, transform Wales’ energy system, and tackle the climate and nature emergencies. Jane Dodds has been invited to respond to the manifesto and speak to three core themes:

  1. Her party’s response to the full suite of policy proposals in the CEW manifesto
  2. Plans to address nature and climate breakdown and measures to restore biodiversity
  3. Support for community wealth building, including how government can help communities own and manage their own assets
We are delighted to welcome Jane Dodds to Hwb y Gors, a building that embodies what community investment and local ownership can achieve.

Free but please book your tickets via Eventbrite:

Wild about Film: 'Power Station'

Wild about Film: ‘Power Station’

£5 Please book tickets in advance via Eventbrite or pop into the Hwb and buy a ticket. Welcome to Wild About Film! our film club that sparks conversation and inspires action through the power of cinema.

Power Station

Two artist activists install solar panels on every house in their street. Community, vision and a dash of British eccentricity and the result is everyday magic. Funny, heartwarming, a vibrant testament to the power of art in making change. “The lo-fi, handheld cinematography, through which Powell and Edelstyn often directly address the viewer, lends a moving intimacy to their momentous endeavours. From sleeping on the roof for a fundraising challenge to planting a thousand sunflowers, their approach prioritises collective action as much as visual impact… Powell and Edelstyn do not shy away from showing some of the lower points of their campaign… Still, the film is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when we simply talk to our neighbours, and it is heartwarming to see different people, from diverse backgrounds but bound by shared economic struggles, come together to make green energy a reality.” Phuong Le, Guardian
