OM x CRAFT Festival Wales Craft Trail

Oriel Myrddin x Craft festival 2025 commissioned me to create work based on the themes of Welsh folklore or Tylwyth Teg.

I decided to create 4 story jugs under the theme of Welsh folklore / Mabinogion. I chose the stories of Mari Lwyd , Blodeuwedd, Gelert & Cantre Gwaelod. I’ve always wanted to do something on this theme and it has been a joy to create and illustrate these jugs.

“Following the success of last year’s trail, six contemporary makers have been invited to present new work in shop windows across the town. Each artist draws inspiration from Welsh folklore, the Tylwyth Teg, and the rich traditions of storytelling that continue to shape our culture.

From playful ceramics and expressive textiles to print, illustration and sculptural forms, the works respond to myth, memory and imagination, each in their own way. The Craft Trail celebrates the handmade, the magical, and the enduring power of story, rooting contemporary craft in the landscapes and legends of Wales.”
