Sleep, that essential activity that everybody needs. Storiel has a fascinating collection of sleep related objects not normally seen together. This exhibition will be a cosy, colourful celebration of patchwork quilts, traditional bed covers, night clothes, a cradle, hot water bottles and even a model of a traditional box bed, made in the 19th century. Many of the fabrics are over a hundred years old, made from locally produced wool and linen.
In the third and final curated event, Clare will delve into the films that have shaped her artistic vision and influenced her creative process. She will discuss the cinematic works, directors, and genres that resonate deeply with her, from experimental cinema to the eerie allure of folk horror and B-movies.
A musical performance by Clare Marie Bailey and Jim Knight aka Mirror Gaze
Art and poetry workshop under the care of Elin Alaw. Come and illustrate a piece of the history of the Gwynedd quarrying area, in this mixed media workshop. There will be an opportunity to discuss the form and quality of an old quarryman's tin, and then experiment with charcoal and watercolour to bring life to our images. Finally, we will incorporate Glan Tecwyn's poem into our work. This two-hour session, suitable for children aged 8 and older, is open to all parents, who are also welcome to participate. No prior experience in creating art is required. Limited numbers, so please book your place in advance.
