Artist and designer Norman Makinson was probably best known for his Festival of Britain commemorative mug. His striking design for Wedgwood’s classic 1951 Queen’s Ware mug captured the spirit of the age. An inspiring teacher, who taught at North Wales College of Art from 1956 to 1981, Norman influenced a whole generation of art students.

For over 50 years he also produced individual ceramic sculptures from his studio in Denbigh that were exhibited and sold through galleries across the UK. This exhibition celebrates Norman’s life and work.

Y mae’n debyg ein bod yn gyfarwydd â gwaith yr artist a’r dylunydd Norman Makinson oherwydd ei fygiau i goffau Gŵyl Prydain. Llwyddodd ei ddarnau clasurol o Queen’s Ware i gwmni Wedgwood i gipio ysbryd yr oes yn 1951. Yr oedd yn athro ysbrydoledig yng Ngholeg Celf Gogledd Cymru 1956–1981 a dylanwadodd ar genhedlaeth gyfan o fyfyrwyr celf.

Am dros hanner canrif bu’n cynhyrchu cerfluniau serameg unigol o’i stiwdio yn Ninbych a chawsant eu gweld a’u gwerthu mewn gwahanol orielau ar draws y DU. Y mae’r arddangosfa hon yn dathlu bywyd a gwaith Norman.
