The Makers Guild in Wales
The Makers Guild in Wales is an independent charitable organisation which exists to further its aims as laid out in its Articles of Association:
“The Objects are to advance education for the public benefit in the Visual Arts and Crafts in particular but not exclusively by exhibitions of high quality hand made crafts and the provision of workshop programmes”
The Charity owns and runs the gallery, Craft in the Bay, and is also a membership organisation, representing 89 Welsh craftmakers. The organisation runs a number of Charitable activities that include- Exhibitions that showcase craft and applied art from both emerging and renowned artists from Wales and further afield; and Education programmes, which include adult workshops, INSET workshops, outreach programmes and work placements for both students and school-age children, which are all seen as a vital to fulfilling our charitable aims. Ymddiriedolaeth elusennol annibynnol yw Urdd Gwneuthurwyr Cymru sy'n bodoli i hyrwyddo ei amcanion a nodir yn ei Erthyglau Cymdeithasiad:
“Yr Amcanion yw gwella addysg yng Nghelf Weledol a Chrefft er les y cyhoedd trwy arddangos yn arbennig ond nid yn unig, crefftwaith o waith llaw safon uchel ac i redeg rhaglen o weithdai.”

Rhaglenni addysg sy'n cynnwys gweithdai ar gyfer oedolion ac INSET, rhaglenni ymestyn allan a phrofiad gwaith i fyfyrwyr a phlant oedran ysgol. Rydym yn eu gweld yn holl bwysig i ni gyflawni ein hamcanion elusennol.
