Works by new artists and makers on show at Mid Wales galleries


Erwood Station Gallery at Erwood, near Builth Wells welcomes new artists and makers during October.

The contemporary craft gallery will be showing ceramic work by Valerie James, bronze resin figurative sculpture by Angela Palmer, paper creations by Graham Lester and glass by Paula Rylatt.

A recent landscape show at the gallery by Jonathan Trim ended up being a sell-out. For those who missed the show, the gallery announced that new paintings by Trim will be available in the next few weeks.

Christina and Brent Blair from The Lion Street Gallery, Hay-on-Wye took over Erwood Station Gallery in March this year and have changed its direction by establishing a contemporary craft gallery that also shows paintings and sculpture. The gallery is open seven days a week from 10.30am to 5pm and the tearoom closes at 4.30pm daily.

Rated as one of the best galleries in Wales, The Lion Street Gallery promotes artists who work in Wales and the Borders. New work at the gallery includes powerful mixed media paintings by a new artist, Matt Pearce, along with landscape paintings by Stephen Yardley and waterlily paintings by Ian Hargeaves.

Visitors to both galleries can buy works of art through the Arts Council of Wales Collectorplan scheme. All they need to do is put down a 10% deposit and spread the remaining payments over 12 months with no interest to pay. The scheme can be used to buy art worth up to £5,000.
