About
Ruthin Craft Centre (Welsh: Canolfan Grefft Rhuthun) is a craft centre in the town of Ruthin, north Wales.
Ruthin Craft Centre shows the best in national and international contemporary applied arts.
The original Craft Centre was demolished early in 2007, and a new Craft Centre opened in July 2008 in a £4.3 million scheme which contains six craft workshops, larger galleries and an expanded craft retail gallery, two residency studios, an education space and a tourist information centre, as well as a restaurant.
The new building, by architects Sergison Bates has been widely recognised, winning the 2009 Dewi-Prys Thomas Prize,
being shortlisted for the 2009 Art Fund Prize and highlighted as a 'Design Delight' by the Design Commission for Wales.
