A information sheet about the function and purpose of the Makers' Guild in Wales, Cardiff, 1985-1986

Disgrifiad

A printed information sheet explaining the function of the Makers' Guild in Wales. This includes the formation date in January 1984, states that membership is available via selection, makers design and create their own work as well as help exhibit it, the MGW puts on events in order to sell and exhibit work. Also the MGW exhibits a large range of items including ‘ceramics, leather work, jewellery… textile… and woodwork.’ The ultimate aim of the MGW, as stated in this document, is to demonstrate that a high standard of work is produced by craftspeople in Wales, make public the works to inspire an ‘appreciation’ for them, allow craftspeople to build connections outside their own disciplines and make the public and ‘official bodies’ aware of the small number of ‘outlets for high quality work’. The document also gives the location of the 1985/86 programme exhibitions that are taking place all over Wales including events in Cardiff, Treforest and Chepstow. This document is in a black font on white paper.

The Makers’ Guild in Wales was formed in 1984 as a maker co-operative to bring together and promote the best of Welsh craft talent. The guild consists of craftsmen and women and is fully committed to its charitable aims, namely the promotion and preservation of applied art and craft skills, by presenting Welsh-based work of the highest quality for the public to view. Since its establishment, it has gained status in producing internationally recognised craft and art. Currently, the organisation has 79 Wales-based maker-members. Prior to settling at Craft in the Bay, which has been in several locations in Cardiff Bay, the guild was based at the Old Library craft centre from 1989 to 1995. The guild also spent some time at St David’s Hall. It is now based in the reconstructed ‘D’ Shed on the Flourish in Cardiff Bay.

In the beginning, The Makers ‘Guild in Wales was wholly run by volunteers; there were no paid staff positions until the mid to late 1990s. The Makers Guild still relies on the help of volunteers to work in the gallery space; they have played a vital role in the sustainability of the craft organisation.
