The art is either on roofing slate directly from Wales or from Vermont. You can see the variety of pieces below. The work includes landscapes inspired by Wales, cromlechs found in Wales, engravings of medieval Welsh images, and even an engraving of 1930s hobnail boots worn by a Welsh slate quarryman.
Margaret Lloyd will be there to welcome everyone and Sarah McKee, a Celtic harpist, will play from 5-7pm, and she is going to particularly include Welsh tunes!
