For over 45 years, the P&O Makower Trust has commissioned major objects of silver to go on long-term loan to national museums throughout the UK including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Ashmolean, National Museums Scotland and Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales.

The original collection, comprising ten pieces, moved to National Museum Cardiff in 2006, from its previous home at the Crafts Council. Since then, several newly commissioned pieces have been added by the makers Sarah Denney (2007/08), Theresa Ngyuen (2009/10), Kevin Grey (2011/12), Adi Toch (2013/14), Claire Malet (2016/17) and most recently by William Romeril with his piece ‘The Royal Game of Urm…?’, commissioned in 2024 and accessioned in 2025.

This exhibition in Ruthin Craft Centre’s CELF space, is the first time the entire P&O Makower Collection, held by National Museum Cardiff, has been brought together in one space, with all thirteen silversmiths’ work on display.

Exhibitors: David Bromilow, Ane Christensen, Angela Cork, Sarah Denny, Ndidi Ekubia, Diana Greenwood, Kevin Grey, Marion Kane, Chris Knight, Claire Malet, Theresa Nguyen, William Romeril, Adi Toch

Ers dros 45 o flynyddoedd mae Ymddiriedolaeth P&O Makower wedi comisiynu gwrthrychau arian o bwys, i’w benthyg am gyfnod hir i amgueddfeydd cenedlaethol ledled y DG gan gynnwys y Victoria and Albert Museum, yr Ashmolean, National Museums Scotland ac Amgueddfa Cymru.

Symudodd y casgliad gwreiddiol, yn cynnwys deg darn, i Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd yn 2006, o’i gartref blaenorol gyda’r Cyngor Crefftau. Ers hynny, cafodd ddarnau newydd eu comisiynu a’u hychwanegu gan y gwneuthurwyr Sarah Denney (2007/08), Theresa Ngyuen (2009/10), Kevin Grey (2011/12), Adi Toch (2013/14), Claire Malet (2016/17) a’r mwyaf diweddar gan William Romeril am ei ddarn ‘The Royal Game of Urm…?’, a gomisiynwyd yn 2024 a’i dderbyn yn 2025.

Yr arddangosfa yng ngofod CELF Canolfan Grefft Rhuthun yw’r tro cyntaf i holl gasgliad P&O Makower, a ddaliwyd gan Amgueddfa Cymru Caerdydd, gael ei grynhoi mewn un gofod, gyda gwaith y tri ar ddeg gof arian i’w gweld.
