About

Awen Sounds gongs are cold-forged by hand in West Wales by Ashley Ward, a gong practitioner of many years. The sublime colours are created during the final firing, done outdoors over local woods chosen for their specific properties.
The gongs are handcrafted with versatility of sound, resonance and richness of tone at the forefront of the each process, and each is inherently unique.
All in-stock gongs are listed for sale on the Awen Sounds website, and are also available to view in our studio in Lampeter, Wales, by prior arrangement.

Each gong is subtly etched to create surface patterns and variations in colour, often including our Awen symbol
The firing process is done in collaboration with the elements – come rain or shine, each gong takes on its own final appearance.
Our dedicated gong studio provides the time and space to see how an Awen Sounds gong can complement and elevate your current Sound Practitioner setup, and enables you to get to know a gong before purchase
