Members’ profiles
I create figures in clay and in papier mäché and a mixture of the two. The clay figures are fired with non-realistic glazes, sometimes in a raku kiln. I also dig clay locally and produce more experimental work.
Open all year around by prior appointment.
Llanddaniel
I work mainly in acrylic, with animals of all kinds providing both the subject and the inspiration for my painting. I am self taught but have been painting and exhibiting since the age of 15 and still enjoy the daily challenge of creating something new and exciting.
Animals are my main passion when I paint. No animal is safe, horses and dogs feature heavily with a few penguins, wolves and owls thrown in for good measure.

Glanhwfa Road
I graduated in Fine Art Printmaking, but recently became interested in mosaic work. I was ararded a grant by the Arts Council of Wales to attend a mosaic course at Ravenna, Italy. I like the rhythm mosaic creates, and how the spacing and reflection of light affects the work.
Llangristiolus
My work consists of large oils on canvas, charcoal, and pencil drawings. I feel very connected to things that are folding and dying as they contort and twist from their upright forms. Organic flowering and earthy colours, the work celebrates a fascination for the natural forms found in hedgerows and fields.
