Inspired by the ‘Rosetta’ stone, naming the parts is a glossary project working with young people. Our exhibiting silversmith Yusuke will be working with Welsh language poet Elinor Gwynn on this collaborative workshop. Elinor start the workshop with a talk and presentation of how her practice has tied in with Yusuke’s, and how their collaborative project came about.
Yusuke will then begin the practical workshop by demonstrating the techniques he uses for mark-making with silver. Then, using silversmithing tools, participants will hammer ‘chase’ their chosen words on to thin aluminium sheets. Each participant will take home their own ’glossary’ of hammered Welsh, English and Japanese words.
At the end of the workshop there will be an opportunity to view Yusuke’s work in Ruthin Craft Centre’s main exhibition room.
‘’My work tells stories of the country that is now my home, gathered images from observing the sensuality of nature, by drawing and making. With Llwybr Defaid I came across ground markings near my house, made by sheep! Their beautifully irregular yet repetitive patterning led to this beaker. What I create is influenced by my Japanese background and the diversity of my life now in Wales. ‘’

Wedi’i ysbrydoli gan garreg ‘Rosetta’, mae enwi’r rhannau yn brosiect geirfa sy’n gweithio gyda phobl ifanc. Bydd ein gof arian Yusuke yn gweithio gyda’r bardd Cymraeg Elinor Gwynn ar y gweithdy cydweithredol hwn. Mae Elinor yn dechrau’r gweithdy gyda sgwrs a chyflwyniad o sut mae ei hymarfer wedi cyd-fynd ag Ysuke’s, a sut daeth eu prosiect cydweithredol i fodolaeth.
Yna bydd Yusuke yn dechrau'r gweithdy ymarferol trwy arddangos y technegau y mae'n eu defnyddio ar gyfer gwneud marciau gydag arian. Yna, gan ddefnyddio offer gof arian, bydd y rhai sy’n cymryd rhan yn ‘mynd ar ôl’ eu dewis eiriau ar ddalennau alwminiwm tenau. Bydd pob cyfranogwr yn mynd â’u ‘geirfa’ eu hunain o eiriau Cymraeg, Saesneg a Japaneaidd wedi’u morthwylio adref gyda nhw.
Ar ddiwedd y gweithdy bydd cyfle i weld gwaith Yusuke ym mhrif ystafell arddangos Canolfan Grefft Rhuthun.
“Mae fy ngwaith yn adrodd straeon am y wlad sydd bellach yn gartref i mi, wedi casglu delweddau o arsylwi cnawdolrwydd natur, trwy luniadu a gwneud. Gyda Llwybr Defaid des i ar draws marciau tir ger fy nhŷ, wedi eu gwneud gan ddefaid! Arweiniodd eu patrwm hardd afreolaidd ond ailadroddus at y bicer hwn. Mae’r hyn rwy’n ei greu yn cael ei ddylanwadu gan fy nghefndir Japaneaidd ac amrywiaeth fy mywyd nawr yng Nghymru. ''
