Mae’r Cert Celf yn dechrau ar ddydd sadwrn yma yn Oriel 1 Sain Ffagan, Amgueddfa Werin Cymru, o 11am tan 1pm, a 2pm tan 4pm. Dewch yn llu i dynnu lluniau wedi’u ysbrydoli gan Pop Peth - yr arddangosfa newydd - neu allech chi helpu gwneud ‘collage’ lliwgar i gydfynd â phrosiect Duwies Durga.

Tra eich bod chi’n mwynhau paned yn Café Bardi, neu'n cael pryd o fwyd yn y bwyty, beth am liwio llun? Mae’r lluniau isod yn dangos pa fath o weithgareddau sydd ar gael i'ch diddanu.

 

The magic flute

A few photos from last weekend's "Magic flute" event in which Gareth Riseborough tried to make replicas of a medieval and a possible Neolithic flute.

He was successful in both projects. The medieval flute plays very well and looks fantastic. The Neolithic whistle looks the piece, but is very difficult to play - no fault of Gareth's there, the reason he was trying to replicate the original was to see whether it was actually a whistle, or whether it might have been simply a dog-chewed bone.

More photos from finished events... This time Sally demonstrating dyeing with natural dyes.

The orange comes from madder, the yellow from weld, blue from woad, and green is a mix of woad and weld.

St Teilo's Church - the book blog

Mari Gordon, 28 Gorffennaf 2009

At last, the first review for Saving St Teilo's has come in.

Reviews make me nervous but in a good, exciting way. I never really dread seeing them but it is a truth universally acknowledged (in publishing at least) that you can't keep all of the people happy all of the time. So, sooner or later we'll get a stinker. But not this time –

"Gerallt Nash’s book also conveys a spirit rarely found in museum publications – pride and joy, craftsmanship and passion, a genuine sense of adventure and achievement. It makes the reader not just want to see St Teilo’s, but also to wish that they had rolled up their sleeves and lent a hand in its rescue."

Daeth Meic Stevens mewn i Oriel 1 yn Sain Ffagan: Amgueddfa Werin Cymru ddydd sadwrn diwetha i drafod ei fywyd a'i waith efo Gari Melville. Ymhlith pethau eraill, soniodd am yr albwm newydd mae'n rhyddhau, y gerddoriaeth mae'n gwrando arni ar hyn o bryd a phwy fasa'n chwarae fe mewn ffilm o'i fywyd - Robin Williams mae'n debyg.
