North Wales has had a long history in the mining of coal, lead, copper and other minerals.

The garden during Helfa Gelf
During the month of September I displayed my work in the garden in Cilcain.
Attached is a slideshow of the pieces on display for Helfa Gelf.

‘Miner’
This is a maquette for a proposed monumental sculpture intended to commemorate all those who worked in the tough conditions of the North Wales mining industry.
It will be accompanied by an inscription which reads:
‘Roeddem yr llawer, roeddem yn un’ / ‘We were many, we were one’
With a model figure to show proposed scale of the final version.
