Crowning the Tree with Samantha Bryan

Make a special figure for the top of your Christmas Tree. CROWNING THE TREE with Samantha Bryan 5th & 6th December 10.30am - 4.30pm Special Rate: £150 (including materials, teas and coffees) Age group – Adults Location: Education Room We have long given the top of the Christmas tree a special place. In this two-day workshop, we will create a unique festive figure for the top of your tree. Your figure may be a fairy, a guardian, a creature, a familiar, a trickster or something that has yet to reveal itself. Bring a handful of suitably sized treasures to incorporate - old buttons, scraps of fabric, found objects, broken jewellery, pieces of nature, something inherited, or simply something you've kept because you can't bear to throw it away. You never know what your figure may need. Using clay, wire, textiles, mixed media and your own treasures you will develop your figure over two days. No previous experience is necessary. This workshop accompanies the exhibition Stories We Tell. Bring a treasure. Make a figure. Find a new story to pass on.

Yn y gweithdy dau ddiwrnod hwn, byddwn yn creu ffigur gwyliau unigryw ar ben eich coeden. Gall eich ffigur fod yn drysor, yn gwarcheidwad, yn greadur, yn gyfaill, yn dwyllwr neu rywbeth sydd heb ei ddatgelu eto. Dewch â llaw o drysorau o faint priodol i’w hymgorffori - botymau hen, darnau o ffabrig, gwrthrychau a gafwyd, gemwaith wedi torri, darnau o natur, rhywbeth sydd wedi’i etifeddu, neu rywbeth sydd gennych chi’n syml gan na allwch ei daflu. Ni fyddwch yn gwybod beth y gall eich ffigur ei angen. Gan ddefnyddio clai, gwifren, tecstilau, cyfryngau cymysg a’ch trysorau eich hun, byddwch yn datblygu eich ffigur dros ddau ddiwrnod. Nid oes angen profiad blaenorol. Mae’r gweithdy hwn yn cyd-fynd â’r arddangosfa Storïau a Dwedwn. Dewch â thrysor. Crewch ffigur. Darganfyddwch stori newydd i’w rannu. Lluniau gan Jo Crawford
