Aberystwyth Ceramics Collection have a collection of over 1600 examples of British and International hand built ceramics in Aberystwyth University’s Ceramic Collection.
(www.ceramics-aberystwyth.com).
The collection has significant examples of early pioneer studio pottery from the early 20th century. Unfortunately we do not know many details about some of the pieces in the collection. We would love to hear from anyone who has any information about these potters in this group. If you would like to help, the mystery pots can be viewed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aberceramics/sets/72157622423495642/

A number of original paintings by Johnn Sharkey will be displayed in the foyer at Theatr Mwldan to accompany the screenings of “Cave of Forgotten Dreams” from 10th to 18th May.
Having gained unprecedented access and with the tightest of technical restrictions, Werner Herzog’s extraordinary film of the interior of the Chauvet cave in Southern France shows some brief torchlight imaages of its art. Closed to the general public since its initial discovery in 1994 it has turned out to be the earliest scientifically dated cave art of over 30,000 years ago, Its cave walls were decorated with hundreds of images of fearsome beasts like mammoths, rhinoceroses, aurochs, lions, wild horses and bears whose scratch marks show it once had been a bear-cave.
The local artist and writer John Sharkey has visited a number of caves in France and his ‘prehistoric’ work has been previously shown there. He is pleased to have had this opportunity of displaying some of his oil paintings of the Grotte Chauver, in a local setting like Theatr Mwldan during the showing of the film “Cave of Forgotten Dreams”

Saturday 19 February – Saturday 26 March 2011
Admission to Oriel Mwldan is free. Opening times are 10am – 8pm daily.
Clare Maynard’s work is experiential, and her paintings and photographs are closely informed by travel. The environs which she has recorded in paintings over the years range from East Africa to parts of Europe such as Berlin and the Czech Republic, landscapes which are often remote or unusual in some aspect of their history. The artist always returns home to Wales and builds upon her exhibitions to include the landscape of mid-Wales, with which she is so familiar.
‘Memory of Light/Atgof o Oleuni’ includes the use of photography. The exhibition will tour from Oriel Mwldan to other arts centres in Wales and finally to show in the exhibition area of a government building in central Berlin.
“Clare’ s paintings and photographs have an ethereal quality, in the cityscapes there is a sense of something unspoken, a fleeting quality that invites the viewer to reflect on the fabric of reality. Her ability to perceive these transitory moments, which enhance the unspoken, mysterious quality in her work, is very special.” Benjamin Storch

Avi Allen’s work is concerned with an ongoing engagement with the language of drawing and its place within contemporary artistic practice. Drawing becomes a site in which to explore and celebrate notions of mutuality and conversation. Her aim is to explore drawing as a process in which to investigate, reveal and disrupt narratives of force and domination.
Opening Reception
