Y Nefoedd yn Toddi i’r Tir

GWYN, Rhiannon

Y Nefoedd yn Toddi i’r Tir

Rhiannon Gwyn was raised in Sling - a quarrying village in north Wales. Her work reflects the rugged beauty of her home landscape by using the physical qualities of Welsh slate and other locally sourced materials. Porcelain bowls, coloured with a glaze made of local gorse flower, are nestled upon slate shelves that have been shaped through a process of heating and melting.
