Location: Pierhead

 

The Makers Guild Wales has been working with skilled craft makers to provide community workshops for local residents in Butetown and Grangetown.

Over the last 6 months, participants have developed and explored new skills in pottery, felt making, fabric printing, jewellery making, embroidery, fused glass and more.

Workshops took place in Butetown Community Centre, Grange Pavilion and the Makers Guild Wales gallery, Craft in the Bay.  

“Together we shared stories, honed our creativity and expressed our talent through craft. This exhibition celebrates our project and the local communities of Butetown and Grangetown.”

– Charlotte Kingston and Larissa Guida Lock, Makers Guild Wales
