About the Workshop Tutors

Becky Adams Becky is a collector of stories; they become an integral part of her life and are ingrained into the making of her work through a sophisicated use of stitch, vintage fabric and antique ephemera. There is a subtle and respectful glance to the study of the human condition; each piece is aware of its past, its present and its untold future. Through the natural language of her work, each piece becomes an embodiment of a story preserved within each careful stitch.
Claire Cawte Claire Cawte's work has an affinity to the natural environment, suggesting calm and tranquil inspiration. She has always identified with the gifts of nature, choosing to use solely plant dyes and for this latest range of work, British Fleece. Derived from the world of organic form and growth Claire Cawte's work is free flowing, linking the layers of nature and our inner selves. Material combinations and manipulation present a refined quality relating to something extra special, in the natural world and our inner selves.

Am Diwtoriaid y Gweithdai

Becky Adams Mae Becky yn gasglwr straeon; maent yn tyfu’n rhan annatod o’i bywyd ac yn cael eu gwau yn y broses o greu ei gwaith trwy ddefnydd soffistigedig o bwythau, hen ffabrig ac effemera hynafol. Ceir cipolwg parchus ond cynnil ar astudio’r cyflwr dynol; mae pob darn yn ymwybodol o’i orffennol, ei bresennol a’i ddyfodol dirgel. Trwy iaith naturiol ei gwaith, bydd pob darn yn ymgorffori stori gaiff ei gofnodi gan bob pwyth gofalus.

Claire Cawte Mae gan waith Claire Cawte gydnawsedd â’r amgylchedd naturiol, sy’n awgrymu ysbrydoliaeth llonydd a thawel. Mae wastad wedi uniaethu â rhoddion byd natur, gan ddefnyddio lliwiau naturiol o blanhigion yn unig ac, ar gyfer y casgliad diweddaraf yma o’i gwaith, â Chnu Prydeinig. Yn deillio o fyd ffurf a thyfiant organig, mae gwaith Claire Cawte yn llifo’n rhydd, gan gyd-gysylltu haenau natur â’n henaid. Mae’r cyfuniadau o ddeunyddiau a’i thriniaeth ohonynt yn creu ansawdd coeth sy’n berthnasol i rywbeth hynod o arbennig, yn y byd naturiol ac ynom ein henaid ninnau.
