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.
Go back in time and discover how garden plants were brought to Wales from across the world, and how their escape from gardens can be detrimental to nature to this day.
Discover the story of the Welsh Women’s Peace Petition 1923-24, and the pivotal role of Welsh women in campaigning for peace. The stories of these remarkable women are as inspiring and relevant today as a hundred years ago.
This exhibition brings together works by Shani Rhys James and Stephen West. As well as works on loan from national institutions, both have produced new work in response to Storiel’s building and collections.
