Spirit of the Celts
Ysbryd y Celtiaid
A collaborative project between 26 quiltmakers from Wales, Scotland and
Northern Ireland, the Spirit of the Celts exhibition opened at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham in 2011 and has since toured to  Scotland, France, Northern Ireland and Wales.
This exhibition shows 7 of the Cwilt Cymru quilts from Spirit of the Celts.

The quilts reflect the individuality and diversity of their makers, and yet they are bound by common threads of a shared culture. Many pieces were inspired by the rich inheritance of legends and beliefs – the power  of the Celtic head and the Mabinogion’s Branwen; others refer to the enigmatic Celtic carved standing stone; to historical events such as the Gododdin, the oldest Welsh poem, and Owain Glyndwr’s uprising; and to surviving artefacts such as the Trawsfynydd tankard.

The full exhibition will be shown at Oriel  Ynys Môn, Anglesey from August 3 to September 15, 2013.

The second half of this exhibition shows individual pieces by the members of Cwilt Cymru.



Cwilt Cymru

Cwilt Cymru is an exhibiting group of contemporary quilters from Wales. The members live scattered across the country, and as individuals have exhibited internationally and throughout the UK, and the group includes teachers and award-winning textile artists. Spirit of the Celts was their first exhibition together. Cwilt
Cymru are currently working on a new exhibition for 2014 on the theme of
Connection.

Yn gywaith rhwng 26 o gwiltwyr o Gymru, Yr Alban a Gogledd  Iwerddon, agorodd
Ysbryd y Celtiaid  yn y Festival of Quilts yn Birmingham yn 2011 ac  ers hynny mae wedi teithio i’r  Alban, Ffrainc, Gogledd Iwerddon a Chymru.  
Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn dangos 7 o gwiltiau Cwilt Cymru o Ysbryd y  Celtiaid.
 
Mae’r cwiltiau yn  adlewyrchu hunaniaeth ac amrywiaeth eu  gwneuthurwyr, ac eto maent wedi eu huno gan edau diwylliant gyffredin. Mae sawl darn wedi ei ysbrydoli gan yr etifeddiaeth gyfoethog o chwedlau a chredoau fel grym y pen Celtaidd a Branwen y Mabinogi; mae eraill yn cyfeirio at ddirgelwch meini cerfiedig; at ddigwyddiadau hanesyddol fel y Gododdin, cerdd hynaf y Gymraeg, a gwrthryfel Owain Glyndwr; ac at arteffactau sydd wedi goroesi megis Cwpan Trawsfynydd.
 
Bydd yr arddangosfa lawn  i’w gweld yn Oriel Ynys Môn o Awst 3 –  Medi  15.

Mae ail hanner yr arddangosfa hon yn dangos darnau unigol gan  aelodau o  Gwilt 
Cymru.


Cwilt Cymru
 
Grwp arddangos o gwiltwyr  cyfoes o Gymru yw Cwilt Cymru. Mae’r  aelodau yn byw ym mhob cwr o’r wlad, ac fel unigolion maent wedi arddangos yn rhyngwladol a ledled Prydain, ac mae’r grwp yn cynnwys athrawon ac artistiaid tecstiliau
gwobredig.Ysbryd y Celtiaid oedd eu harddangosfa gyntaf gyda’i  gilydd. Mae Cwilt Cymru bellach yn gweithio ar arddangosfa newydd ar gyfer 2014 ar y thema Cysylltiad.
