Wales has a much celebrated tradition of creating both utilitarian and decorative textiles of distinctive design. From power-loomed blankets to hand-stitched quilts, textiles are a key part of Welsh visual culture and history.

Whilst ‘A Darker Thread’ takes this heritage as its starting point, twelve contemporary artists, designers and makers have been invited to exhibit work which subverts these expectations.

Curated by Laura Thomas.

Mae Cymru â thraddodiad enwog o greu tecstilau defnyddiol ac addurniadol o ddyluniad neilltuol. O flancedi gwŷdd peiriannol i gwiltiau wedi’u pwytho â llaw, mae tecstilau’n rhan allweddol o ddiwylliant gweledol a hanes Cymreig.

Tra bo ‘Edefyn Tywyllach’ yn cymryd y dreftadaeth hon fel man cychwyn, mae deuddeg o artistiaid, dylunwyr a gwneuthurwyr cyfoes wedi’u gwahodd i arddangos gwaith sy’n gwyrdroi’r disgwyliadau hyn.
