Overview
About the opportunity
Catrin Williams began exhibiting her artworks in the late 1980s and since then her work has travelled all over the world. He grew up on a mountain farm in Cefnddwysarn near Bala, but has lived by the sea in Pwllheli since 1996. Welshness - or rather the experience of living in Wales - is one of the strongest themes in Catrin Williams' work; the dresser, the clothes, faces and habits of the family are all often woven together and demand attention. Over time the domestic and family themes developed to include elements of the tourist symbols from Wales such as the stereotypical washcloths. An echo of her early landscapes of the Berwyn mountains is evident in her latest pieces but the inspiration is now the coast and beaches of the Llŷn peninsula.
Catrin has held workshops for school children of all ages throughout Wales, as well as on specific projects throughout Britain. In this workshop she will take the children/students on a creative journey through her 35 years as a professional artist with a presentation including displaying some of her works. After introducing herself and her artwork Catrin will get the children/students to create new work through encouragement. The workshop can be a day or half a day to match the school timetable.
