Multi Award winning, Craft Festival is coming to Cardigan!

I will have a stand to demonstrate making my creations there, where I will also sell my jewellery, and talk about my work on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock and take part in a panel discussion about the Crafts in Wales on Sunday at 3pm.

Craft Festival Wales will blaze a trail across Cardigan from September 6-8 hosting over 80 makers at Cardigan Castle. The Castle Grounds will be heaving with activity including demonstrations, sculpture trail, exhibitions, talks, workshops, children’s activities, opportunities to brush up on your Welsh, local food, live music, walk-about theatre & storytelling. It’s jam-packed! 

From early September, The Town Craft Trail presented by Oriel Myrddin, will see 6 venues across Cardigan hosting 6 emerging makers from Wales. The Trail will feature new works, inspired by objects from the National Museum Collection. Collect the Trail stamps and you will be entered into a prize draw.

Carmarthen School of Art are presenting a Sculpture Trail around the Castle from September 6 until October 6th. Students & tutors present their responses to the Cardigan Castle Gardens site in wood, metal and stone. They are also joined by a piece from Coleg Ceredigion’s unique Furniture Making course with their own chair response to the site specific chair at the Castle.

Also, Significant Forms hosted at Canfas Gallery, is an exhibition of Museum quality ceramics from across Wales curated by local potter, Peter Bodenham will run from September 6-October 6th.
