The Cabinet visits Nant Gwrtheyrn to work with Gwynedd's Criw Celf

Nant Gwrtheyrn was an abandoned village in   the 1970s following the closure of the quarries. The redundant houses, offices, chapel and shops constructed during the quarry’s heyday between 1860 and 1920,when over 2,000 men worked the granite, had fallen into rack and ruin.

The Nant Gwrtheyrn Trust, a registered charity was formed through the energies of Dr Carl Clowes, the local GP and others and eventually they bought the village and set about renovating the old buildings and developed a centre to teach Welsh to adults which also attracted other groups to enjoy the unique ambience of this peaceful valley. 

                                                                           

 Criw Celf ( an art group for young people) used the cabinet as part of their art workshop on 'Collecting and Collections in the Natural Environment. They enjoyed exploring the village and coastline and making their artwork and curating the cabinet in a day to form a mini exhibition.
Here are some examples of their work.
