I’r stiwdio | Into the studio

24 September – 05 November 2022

“I’r stiwdio  |  Into the studio, Mission Gallery, Swansea is an exhibition that celebrates the art of making. It brings together the studio practices of six brilliant alumni of Swansea College of Art, UWTSD. Glenys Cour, Catrin Jones, Angela Maddock, Mark Eley, Rhian Hâf and our studio holder Clare Pentlow, alumni artists from across years and creative disciplines. We’re delighted to be presenting both new and archival works by the artists. 

Hooked into the show, will also be sample pieces by current students of the Design Crafts and Surface Pattern and Textiles undergraduate courses at Swansea College of Art, UWTSD. Fundamental to making are learned processes; from cutting to stitching, drawing to etching, folding to fitting. The sample works will illustrate many different processes and explore traditional and contemporary techniques.

Perhaps first introduced at college, you’ll see how such techniques inform the original character of the works by the alumni artists. Add pattern, form, texture and colour to this and I’r stiwdio  |  Into the studio promises to be a joyous appreciation of applied practice.”
