Cwrs Gwehyddu gyda Elin Huws 25/04

Graddiodd Elin Huws o Goleg Celf Prifysgol Caeredin ym 1999 gyda gradd dosbarth cyntaf mewn Tapestri a chwblhaodd ei gradd meistr yn yr un brifysgol yn 2001. Ers hynny mae hi wedi dychwelyd i Ogledd Cymru lle mae hi’n creu gweithiau gwehyddu wedi eu hysbrydoli gan dirweddau, morweddau a barddoniaeth. Mae gwaith Elin yn drosiadol yn hytrach na chyfieithiad uniongyrchol o’r dirwedd gan archwilio cof a’i theimladau mewnol tuag at le.

Yn y gweithdy undydd hwn byddwch yn  gweithio ar wehyddiad eich hun wedi’i ysbrydoli gan dirwedd neu forlun o’ch dewis. Drwy ddefnyddio rhinweddau cynhenid edafedd  byddwch yn ymchwilio i ddyfnder a thôn, llonyddwch a symudiad. Bydd y gweithdy yn cyflwyno deunyddiau traddodiadol o ystof gotwm ac anwe wlân, yn ogystal â sgiliau sylfaenol i greu tapestri wedi ei wehyddu. Drwy arbrofi gydag ystod o dechnegau. Mae’r cwrs hwn yn addas ar gyfer dechreuwyr neu’r rhai sy’n dymuno datblygu eu sgiliau gwehyddu ymhellach.

Dewch â delwedd o’r dirwedd neu forlun yr hoffech weithio ohoni ac unrhyw wlân yr hoffech eu defnyddio. Mae’r pris yn cynnwys edafedd a defnydd o offer yn ystod y gweithdy. Mae’r ffrâm dapestri a bobin yn gynwysedig yn y pris fel y gallwch ymarfer eich sgiliau gwehyddu newydd adref.

Elin Huws graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1999 with a first-class degree in Tapestry and completed her master’s degree at the same university in 2001. She has since returned to North Wales where she creates tapestry weavings inspired by the landscapes, seascapes and poetry of Wales. Elin s work is metaphorical rather than a direct translation of the landscape exploring memory and her feelings towards a place.

In this one-day workshop you will work on your own tapestry inspired by a landscape of your choice and will use the inherent qualities of yarns to investigate depth and tone, stillness and movement. The workshop will introduce traditional materials of a cotton warp and wool weft, as well as the basic skills involved in creating a woven tapestry. Experimenting with a range of techniques. This course is suitable for beginners or those who wish to further develop their weaving techniques.
