Something for Everyone

Throughout July 2025

The galleries at the Llanwtyd Heritage and Arts Centre are displaying an abundance of artistic talent throughout July showcasing art, sculptures, stained glass, ceramics and wood
turning.

The Irfon Valley group of artists encompasses Artists and Artisans working in the broader area of the Valleys between the Cambrian Mountains and the Epynt , from the Sugar Loaf to Beulah, Garth and Cilmeri. They are regular exhibitors at the Centre but many of the artists exhibit both nationally and internationally. The members of the group work in a variety of mediums producing stunning and unusual pieces.

Simon Lilly works with silver, creating sculptural pieces and his digital art portrays the atmospheres of the Welsh landscape, whilst Sue Hazel, whose potential buyer and admirer
includes King Charles, uses stained glass to a beautiful and amazing effect.

Paintings in oil are displayed by Dave Wettner and Katie Fiszman who use different techniques to produce eye catching images in both traditional and modern styles and Jon Hather works in watercolours resulting in soft, pastel landscapes of the Welsh Countryside.

Ceramicist Wendy Chamberlain is again displaying lovely pieces both practical and decorative whilst Paul Rickard Is exhibiting his work which includes original relief, intaglio & lithographic prints.

Photographer and watercolour artist Paul Hazel, captures wildlife, in particular birds, using both mediums to great effect.

The Ifron Valley group are joined by Andrew and David Leeton and Yvette Lavis. Andrew and David have had many successful exhibitions at the Centre and once again this exhibition showcases their talent in wood turning resulting in a wide range of wonderful pieces. Yvette works in watercolours being inspired by the flowers and plants found in the
Welsh countryside. This exhibition demonstrates the level of artistic talent that can be found in Mid Wales and we hope that you will visit the Centre to view the exhibitions.

The Centre is open Thursday – Sunday 10am to 4pm. Entrance is free and accessible to
everyone.

Kizzy Crawford to perform in Llanwrtyd Wells

SATURDAY 26 th JULY, at 7.30pm

The Llanwrtyd & District Heritage and Arts Centre is delighted to welcome the multi-talented Kizzy Crawford to the Centre in July.

Kizzy is a dynamic singer-songwriter, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist blending soul, folk, and jazz into a sound that’s entirely her own. Bilingual and bold, her music weaves together rich storytelling with a deep sense of place and identity.

Kizzy was raised in Wales and educated in Welsh and, having launched her career at the age of fifteen with a debut single in 2013, she has continued to develop a varied career encompassing recorded music, theatre, TV, and live performance.

She has performed with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and at the 2014 BBC Wales Six Nations Championship and the Euro 16 Welsh team homecoming concert at Cardiff City Stadium. Her live performances also include the National Eisteddfod, and various festivals including the Hay Festival and Glastonbury.

Kizzy has appeared on radio and TV, both as a singer and as an actor. She was interviewed live on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and had a role in the award-winning BBC Drama – Keeping Faith.

Five of her original songs were selected for the WJEC A-Level and GCSE music syllabus in Wales, where they continue to be studied alongside Welsh icons like Gruff Rhys and Super Furry Animals.

She is currently composing an original score for a bespoke, hour-long production with Ballet Cymru – her latest move into ambitious, cross-disciplinary work and also writing new material for her third studio album.

Kizzy is an amazingly talented performer whose reputation ensures that the evening will showcase her musical abilities and appeal to a wide audience.

The concert takes place on SATURDAY 26 th JULY, at 7.30pm and is supported by the Night Out Scheme.

ASTOUNDING WORK IN AUGUST

Throughout August 2025

Our galleries in August display work from returning exhibitors together with a new and exciting artist.

Mary Herbert comes to the Heritage Centre for the first time having exhibited throughout the UK and Europe. Early in her career she developed an interest in figure drawing together with human and equine portraiture. Specialising in pastel painting for much of her career she now also works in oil and whilst she continues to paint animal subjects, her more recent work is inspired by the Ceredigion landscape. Her work is held in private collections worldwide and she has been a frequent contributor to ‘The Artist’ magazine.

Following their previous successful exhibition in Llanwrtyd Karen Williams and Adrian Munday return to display their beautiful ceramics specifically highlighting the technique of Raku. They originally met whilst attending pottery classes and now run a successful Raku and Alternative Firing Experience Centre near St Clears in Carmarthenshire. Utilising this technique they produce decorative and practical items that would grace any home.

Once again the Centre is lucky to have such talented artists and masters of their crafts exhibiting and we know that visitors will appreciate the talent on display in the coming weeks.

The Heritage Centre is open Thursday – Sunday 10am to 4pm (plus Bank Holidays)
