About this Event

Sgwrs + Arddangosiad Artist: Toni De Jesus

On Saturday 8 February ceramic artist Toni De Jesus will be giving a talk and tour of his current exhibition , followed by a demonstration of some of his processes

Starting with a walk through in Gallery 1, Toni will then demonstrate his coiling technique, upstairs in our Learning Room.

Toni’s work exists in the space between tradition and breaking with tradition, functionality and non-functionality, craftsmanship and idea-based art. He is driven by a desire for connection, and explores themes of place, memory, and loss; which are core elements of his migrant experience.

Through this talk and demonstration, Toni will consider storytelling and the integration of local materials, such as sand, rocks, sediments and clays that have been used with ceramics throughout Maderia’s 600-year history.

Book a free place via Eventbrite here.

The Learning Room is located on our first floor. Unfortunately, we do not have disabled access to this floor.

Places are limited and pre-booking is essential.

Toni’s exhibition will be on display until 15 February. Find out more .

Ddydd Sadwrn 8 Chwefror, bydd yr artist cerameg Toni De Jesus yn rhoi sgwrs a thaith o gwmpas ei arddangosfa bresennol, , ac yna bydd yn dangos rhai o'i brosesau.

Bydd Toni yn dechrau gyda thaith o gwmpas Oriel 1, ac yna bydd yn dangos ei dechneg torchi, i fyny'r grisiau yn ein Hystafell Ddysgu.

Mae gwaith Toni yn bodoli yn y gofod rhwng traddodiad a thor-traddodiad, ymarferoldeb ac anymarferoldeb, crefftwriaeth a chelf seiliedig ar syniadau. Mae'n cael ei ysgogi gan yr awydd am ymgysylltu, a’r themâu mae'n eu harchwilio yw lle, atgof a cholled: sef yr elfennau craidd yn ei brofiad fel mudwr.

Trwy’r sgwrs a'r arddangosiad, bydd Toni yn ystyried dweud storïau a’r broses o gynnwys deunyddiau lleol fel tywod, creigiau, gwaddodion a chleiau sydd wedi cael eu defnyddio mewn cerameg ar hyd hanes 600 mlynedd Madeira.

Bwciwch le am ddim drwy Eventbrite yma.

Mae’r Ystafell Ddysgu ar ein llawr cyntaf. Yn anffodus, nid oes gennym fynediad i’r llawr hwn ar gyfer pobl anabl.

Mae nifer y lleoedd yn gyfyngedig a rhaid bwcio ymlaen llaw.

Gallwch ymweld ag arddangosfa Toni tan 15 mis Chwefror. Cewch fwy o wybodaeth .
