Led by Desdemona McCannon, Senior Lecturer Art History and Contextual Studies at MMU & Yadzia Williams, Senior Lecturer in Design Communication at Glyndwr University.
This exciting event will coincide with the Oriel Wrecsam exhibitions, ‘The wolves are running’ and ‘and Also’, and will examine the way ‘lore’ is illustrated and the link between documenting folk art and using it in creative practice. The idea of the artist as ethnographer, the turn to ‘folk’ values in contemporary art and design cultures, and the distinction between ‘professional’ and ‘amateur’ creativity will be discussed.
Then, following a ‘bring and share’ picnic lunch, the group will separate into two Breakout Sessions:
i) Looking at Welsh folk art: pattern making workshop (brush and ink/rubber stamps)
ii) The Polish folk tradition of pajaki paper chandeliers
Plenary Session to close
This event has been subsidised and we are delighted to offer the event for only £10 per person

Dan arweiniad Desdemona McCannon, Uwch Ddarlithydd Hanes Celf ac Astudiaethau Cyd-destunol yn MMU a Yadzia Williams, Uwch Ddarlithydd mewn Cyfathrebu Dyluniad ym Mhrifysgol Glyndŵr.
Bydd y seminar cyffrous yma’n digwydd ar yr un pryd ag arddangosiadau Oriel Wrecsam, ‘The wolves are running; ac ‘a nd Also’ a bydd yn archwilio’r ffordd y darlunnir ‘llên gwerin’ a’r cysylltiad rhwng dogfennu celf werin a’i defnyddio mewn arferion creadigol. Bydd yn trafod y syniad o’r artist fel ethnograffydd, y troi at werthoedd ‘gwerin’ mewn diwylliannau celf a dylunio cyfoes, a’r gwahaniaeth rhwng creadigrwydd ‘proffesiynol’ ac ‘amatur’.
Yna, ar ôl cinio picnic, (pawb i ddod â rhywbeth i’w rannu), bydd y grŵp yn rhannu’n ddau Sesiwn Grŵp:
