Mizuyo Yamashita
Our new show Reap & Sew is now open at Oriel Myrddin Gallery. London based ceramic artist, Mizuyo Yamashita spent two days with us last week to install an especially made miniature town-scape in the gallery. It is an exquisitely imagined and realised piece. Ceramic sections of houses, gardens, tower blocks, cars, parks, ponds and trees have been meticulously placed alongside textiles and found objects with a ceramic church at its centre. A serene scene made rather more bizarre by the dinosaurs and the giant giraffe roaming the streets!
We really enjoyed having Mizuyo with us and are delighted with the result. A strange little world seemingly tranquil but at the same time unsettling...it's too quiet, too orderly - those dinosaurs bring an eccentric tension to the scene that disconcert expectations and introduce quirky little sub-plots to the narratives.

Reap & Sew is a light, fun, mixed craft and contemporary design show reminding the winter-weary that the days are longer and spring is just about here.
Gorgeous!
