Join us for an afternoon of recollections of some key moments in the history of North America’s folk movement with one of the genre’s key figures in the folk music boom of the late 1950s, Canadian-born musician Bonnie Dobson, composer of the haunting anti Nuclear anthem Morning Dew that was released on her Prestige International album At Folk City in 1962.
It's a privilege to have Fiona and Gorwel Owen to Storiel to perform songs from their new album.
This ambitious project showcases her signature faux-marble collage technique through large-scale 2D works and a striking immersive floor installation that spans the gallery.

There are over 3,000 sheepfolds across north west Wales, but only around 100 of these are the very large, communal, folds that farmers have used to sort the flocks of sheep that graze on the mountains over the summer. This talk looks at how these large folds work, when, why and where they were built and how they fit into the history and culture of welsh hill farming - and also how they are linked to an island off Croatia. Many of them are now falling into disrepair but we will finish the talk by seeing how some are still used today, continuing the pattern and rhythm of gathering sheep from the hills that goes back over 300 years
