Working with the children and staff at Drew Bach Preschool has been a privilege - it is a nurturing, inspiring and happy environment. Thank you. The children and artist Sue Hunt really enjoyed learning from each other and sharing the joy of creativity!

Mae gweithio gyda'r plant a'r staff yn Derw Bach wedi bod yn fraint - mae'n amgylchedd meithringar, ysbrydoledig a hapus. Diolch. Mwynhaodd y plant a'r artist Sue Hunt ddysgu oddi wrth ei gilydd a rhannu llawenydd creadigrwydd yn fawr iawn!

"Living in Wales, nestled between bogs, Alys Fowler brings a deeply personal and illuminating perspective to Peatlands. Her odyssey takes her deep into the Flow Country, to the remote Border Mires, through Bannau Brycheiniog, the Peak District and Ireland, creating an intimate picture of these magical places and the people who care for them."

Fancy a coffee? ☕

Our new guest roast on our second grinder is El Jaragual from

Eisiau coffi? ☕

Ein coffi 'gwestai' newydd ar yr ail beiriant malu yw El Jaragual gan

With notes of Peach, Lychee & Mango

Described as "a coffee bursting with tropical vibrance. Expect lush, juicy notes of mango, peach, lychee, making it the perfect fruity brew.

Crafted as a versatile omni roast, El Jaragual delivers a bright, fruit-forward filter experience while also showing depth and sweetness when pulled as espresso.

Grown on a 150-hectare family farm in Amalfi, Antioquia, El Jaragual is led by Jorge Mira, a forestry engineer dedicated to both coffee excellence and sustainability. The farm integrates timber-yielding pine plantations with preserved native forests, while employing innovative processing that blends tradition with modern precision. Extended fermentations with yeast inoculation and carefully controlled temperature steps, including warm water rinses and cool water quenches, enhance and stabilise the aromatic profile, resulting in a cup that’s consistently exceptional."

Pass Something On by Heidi Plant

Gallery visitors are invited to contribute "A joke, a reminder, a truth or a tiny survival tactic" to an ever expanding wall of collage shapes. You are invited to write in Welsh, English or any language you speak.

Come and add your contribution before the exhibition finishes at the end of August!

Heidi says, "I’m interested in the idea of contemporary folk wisdom. The funny, poignant, strange and honest things humans say to help each other through life. I’d love for the work to encourage people of all ages to feel confident contributing their own voice, whether that’s something heartfelt, hilarious, wise, absurd or beautifully ordinary."

Pass Something On gan Heidi Plant

Gwahoddir ymwelwyr â'r oriel i gyfrannu "jôc, nodyn atgoffa, gwirionedd neu dric bach i oroesi" at wal o siapiau collage sy'n tyfu'n barhaus. Gwahoddir chi i ysgrifennu yn Gymraeg, yn Saesneg neu yn unrhyw iaith arall rydych chi'n ei siarad.

Dewch i ychwanegu eich cyfraniad cyn i'r arddangosfa ddod i ben ddiwedd mis Awst!

Peregrine Circus

6th - 9th August (multiple performances)

outside the gallery

They say beneath rolling waves lay something else, something daylight has never been cast upon. There’s life in there, figures shaped by tide, carried on the swell of something unseen - you’ve heard the bell, the Captain, the call, the orchestra that went under singing - they’re all still in there.

These are all old stories, they grow no younger, but no less worth telling.

Now then, you’ll only ever know if you find the ones who know the way - there’s light in the whales dark, follow the compass without North, stay vigil and trust the vessel is blessed.

For the truth of it is, you may be swallowed whole, but you’ll never be truly lost.

Peregrine Circus

6ed ​​- 9fed Awst (perfformiadau lluosog)

y tu allan i'r oriel

Maen nhw'n dweud bod rhywbeth arall o dan donnau rholio, rhywbeth nad yw golau dydd erioed wedi'i daflu arno. Mae bywyd yno, ffigurau wedi'u llunio gan y llanw, wedi'u cario ar don rhywbeth anweledig - rydych chi wedi clywed y gloch, y Capten, yr alwad, y gerddorfa a aeth i lawr yn canu - maen nhw i gyd yn dal yno.

Mae'r rhain i gyd yn hen straeon, dydyn nhw ddim yn mynd yn iau, ond dydyn nhw ddim yn llai gwerth eu hadrodd.

Nawr felly, dim ond os dewch chi o hyd i'r rhai sy'n gwybod y ffordd y byddwch chi byth yn gwybod - mae golau yn nhywyllwch y morfilod, dilynwch y cwmpawd heb y Gogledd, arhoswch yn wyliadwrus ac ymddiriedwch fod y llong wedi'i bendithio.

Oherwydd y gwir yw, efallai y cewch eich llyncu'n gyfan, ond ni fyddwch byth ar goll mewn gwirionedd.
