The Lovespoon Gallery in Mumbles is celebrating 40 years of keeping a Welsh tradition alive 🥄
🥄 The Lovespoon Gallery is marking 40 years since opening its doors in Mumbles, having been founded by Patricia Price to showcase genuine hand carved Welsh lovespoons rather than the mass-produced versions sold elsewhere.
🌍 It's still the only gallery in the world dedicated solely to hand carved Welsh lovespoons, with thousands of pieces sent from the small seafront gallery to homes across the globe over the decades.
🏉 In 2002 the gallery carved a lovespoon measuring around 64cm for the Wales rugby team, which still travels with the squad and is looked after by the youngest player on tour.
💬 The gallery said: "What started as a passion for Welsh heritage has grown into a lifelong commitment to keeping this unique tradition alive for future generations."
