THE TABLE
Oriel Myrddin, Camarthen
Sun 19 Oct-Sat 28 Dec
With impetus from Dutch still life, numerous artists and makers are participating in Oriel Myrddin’s annual winter exhibition, featuring crafted ceramics, textiles, wicker, wood, and more. Ceramic artist Katrin Moye blends contemporary hues with historical Dutch Delftware pottery, also used for Paul Bommer’s handmade, quirky tiles. Delving deeper into Dutch still life, Copenhagen-based Raawii features its Strøm collection clad in block colours and a Cubist, form-meets-function style.
Despite its range of showcasing, there will also be purchasing opportunities. Grace Alexander’s flower seeds in recycled cotton envelopes packs contain various colour palettes. Megan Ivy Griffiths’ embroidered dolls alongside with a range of Christmas delft-inspired decorations will also be available to buy.
With its focus on the domestic, The Table will also feature segments of nature. For instance, new artists working in metals such as Alice-Andrea Ewing’s bronze fruit and vegetables and Rowan MacGregor’s countryside-inspired wreaths and sprigs. Using Welsh-grown hardwoods, David White amalgamates nature with his tableware, and Clare Revera’s Cyntell baskets are also made from sustainable materials from the countryside.
This exhibition will also feature some small food producers, such as writer and cook Anja Dunk with a selection of bottled goods and her books. Likewise, Jade Mellor from WildPickings will be returning with her local produce including hot chocolate from the Edinburgh-based Edward & Irwyn.
