Discover Cardigan through craft 🏺🌿
Starting this Friday untill the 11th October, Cardigan becomes an open-air gallery as the Craft Festival Wales Town Trail returns for its third year.
Seven award-winning Welsh makers. Seven independent town venues. Seven new commissions inspired by the words that take us home:
Aelwyd / Hearth
Maeth / Nourishment
Atcof / Memory
Croeso / Welcome
Cysur / Comfort
Hiraeth / Longing
Tirwedd / Landscape
This year, we’re delighted to be featuring the work of Tim Lake at The Albion Aberteifi.
Based in Carmarthenshire, Tim creates stoneware pots on a slow-turning kick wheel, alongside slab-built plates, trays and wall pieces. His work draws on a rich mix of influences, from East to West, bringing together vibrant colour, subtle beauty and the quiet character of clay.
Discover Tim’s work alongside pieces by Llio James Tom Frost Ella Bua-In John Pearce - Handmade furniture & homewares and ARTISAN WALLPAPERS & TEXTILES, displayed throughout Cardigan’s cafés, shops and creative spaces.
Wander the streets, collect your Town Trail map and discover contemporary craft in unexpected places- from ceramics and textiles to furniture, print and pattern.
A celebration of making, memory and the special feeling of home in this corner of West Wales.
