About
English:
I have been working with the heritage craft of strawcraft for the past 18 months, a journey that began during lockdown in 2021 when I learned to make harvest tokens. Captivated by the craft, I have since expanded my skills, delivering strawcraft workshops to schools, organisations, and agricultural societies. I am passionate about advocating for heritage crafts as a wellbeing activity, often running nature connection and heritage craft workshops outdoors.
Currently, I am working to gain more recognition for heritage crafts at local Welsh agricultural shows by 2025, particularly encouraging people to take up endangered crafts from the Heritage Crafts Red List. This autumn, I have started planting my own strawcraft crops, with the aim of hosting a Harvest Festival to celebrate harvest traditions in Wales and inspire others to connect with this rich cultural heritage.

Rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio gyda’r grefft dreftadaeth o grefft wellt ers 18 mis, taith a gychwynodd yn ystod y cyfnod clo yn 2021 pan ddysgais sut i greu tocynnau cynhaeaf. Cefais fy nghyfareddu gan y grefft, ac ers hynny rwyf wedi ehangu fy sgiliau, gan gynnal gweithdai crefft wellt mewn ysgolion, sefydliadau a chymdeithasau amaethyddol. Rwy’n angerddol am hyrwyddo crefftau treftadaeth fel gweithgaredd sy’n hyrwyddo llesiant, gan gynnal gweithdai cysylltu â natur a chrefftau treftadaeth yn yr awyr agored yn aml.
Ar hyn o bryd, rwy’n gweithio tuag at gael mwy o gydnabyddiaeth i grefftau treftadaeth mewn sioeau amaethyddol lleol yng Nghymru erbyn 2025, gyda’r nod o annog pobl i ymgymryd â chrefftau sydd mewn perygl o ddiflannu o’r Rhestr Goch Crefftau Treftadaeth. Yr hydref hwn, rwyf wedi dechrau plannu cnydau crefft wellt fy hun, gyda’r bwriad o gynnal Gŵyl Cynhaeaf i ddathlu traddodiadau cynhaeaf Cymru ac ysbrydoli eraill i gysylltu â’r dreftadaeth ddiwylliannol gyfoethog hon.
