Heritage Crafts at Craft Festival Wales

August 14, 2026

Hello! 

I hope all is well with you? I’m just getting my feet back on the ground after a spectacular Eisteddfod, Y Garreg Las last week. I bumped into so many friends from Aberteifi and my Craft Family. Wasn’t it great?! 

If you are experiencing post-Eisteddfod blues, chin up, there are just 4 weeks until Craft Festival Wales. 
⁠
We’re thrilled to welcome Heritage Crafts back to Craft Festival Wales, bringing with them makers dedicating their lives to keeping rare and remarkable skills alive.⁠
⁠
This year, you can meet drystone waller, Barney Murray, enameller and polisher, Isabella Ossett, Samantha Jones Quiltmaker and milliner, Wade-Evans Design. ⁠
⁠
Mary Eluned, Sustainability Officer for Heritage Crafts will also be hosting a Panel Discussion on Sunday September 13th at 3.30pm : Living Lineage, What Does Heritage Craft Mean Today? The panel includes Barney Murray and Katy Bevan from Quickthorn Books. 

See you there!⁠ ⁠

Helo ‘na!

Gobeithio bod popeth yn iawn gyda chi? Dw i newydd ddechrau dechrau ar fy nhraed ar ôl Eisteddfod ysblennydd, Y Garreg Las yr wythnos diwethaf. Fe wnes i daro i mewn i gymaint o ffrindiau o Aberteifi a fy nheulu crefft. Onid oedd hi’n wych?!

Os ydych chi’n profi’r iselder ar ôl yr Eisteddfod, codwch eich gên, dim ond 4 wythnos sydd tan Ŵyl Grefft Cymru.
⁠
Rydym wrth ein bodd yn croesawu HERITAGE CRAFTS yn ôl i Ŵyl Grefft Cymru, gan ddod â gwneuthurwyr sy’n ymroi eu bywydau i gadw sgiliau prin a rhyfeddol yn fyw gyda nhw.⁠
⁠
Eleni, gallwch gwrdd â’r gwneuthurwr waliau cerrig sych, Barney Murray, yr enamelydd a’r sgleiniwr, Isabella Ossett, Samantha Jones, gwneuthurwr cwiltio a hetiwr, Wade-Evans Design. ⁠
⁠
Bydd Mary Eluned, Swyddog Cynaliadwyedd HERITAGE CRAFTS hefyd yn cynnal Trafodaeth Panel ddydd Sul Medi 13eg am 3.30pm: Llinach Fyw, Beth Mae Crefft Treftadaeth yn ei Olygu Heddiw? Mae’r panel yn cynnwys Barney Murray a Katy Bevan o Quickthorn Books.

Hwyl fawr am y tro!
