Reap and Sew
Contemporary Craft and Design
27 February - 3 April 2010
Mizuyo Yamashita
Our spring show is now open and proving very popular with our visitors. Ceramicist Mizuyo Yamashita has made and installed an exquisite town scene in the gallery as part of the show, miniature houses, trees, tower blocks, parks and ponds...all inhabited by strange oversized creatures roaming the streets! We are also lucky to be showing craft and design pieces from textile artist Janet Bolton, ceramic artist Helen Beard and Irish Jeweller Eily O'Connell amongst other exceptional national makers. Spring has arrived!

We held our annual stakeholders meeting at Oriel Myrddin Gallery on the 15 September 2009
We would like to thank all those who attended and contributed to the success of the evening
Here are some of the ideas we thought were particularly interesting and potentially viable…
Fundraising
Information point in the foyer promoting the gallery’s educational activities and events, linked to a specially designed donations box.
Develop community ownership of the gallery. Devise a small selling ‘promotional’ gallery booklet detailing the history of the art school, and the building, milestones and key moments in OM’s history.
Merchandise Oriel Myrddin Gallery products for school children’s budgets. Other merchandise ideas came up that we liked, we don’t want to give too much away – keep visiting our shop!
Community usage
Swap Shop Saturday. An open door Saturday event focused around fashion, craft, textiles, DIY, recycling, swapping and trading. The gallery provide the space in the studio. Aimed at textile/fashion/craft-aware teenagers, young 20’s …an open space to make, barter, swap, sell.
Gallery as arts ‘hub’. The gallery are keen to foster the idea with input from external sources. This could include opportunities and networking for artists’ professional development – needs research, suggestions welcome
Develop links with the art college possibly through a prize or residency scheme possibly in conjunction with Project Bus Shelter
Audiences/Perception
Continue with development of Project Bus Shelter scheme
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the gallery with a special 2011 exhibition
Keep thinking, being dynamic, responding through the programme – thanks!
