AELWYD Exhibition - Ruthin Craft Centre
AELWYD- Towards a contemporary Welsh interior
20 July – 13 October 2019, Ruthin Craft Centre
“Aelwyd, the title of this exhibition, is Welsh for hearth – a word synonymous with home. Through their material, making, story or use, the objects in this exhibition explore a deep-rooted sense of belonging and home.
Objects will include handwoven carthenni by Llio James that are refreshingly contemporary whilst continuing the tradition of Welsh textile design. Deiniol Williams’ unique vessels that incorporate stones and clay collected from the Welsh landscape. And Sophie Scharer’s lino-cut print compositions of well-worn and loved everyday objects.
In exploring the affinity we feel towards handmade objects, Aelwyd invites you to enjoy one possible path towards a contemporary Welsh interior.
