Arlunydd wrth ei Waith /Artist at Work


Summer 1972: sculptor Mervyn Baldwin, with technical assistance from artist Paul Spooner, takes on the challenge of creating a piece for Holyhead’s comprehensive school. The project entails working from a studio set up in Trearddur Bay, open to questions, comments and criticism from visitors who are free to call all day, every day, for 3 weeks. Over 1000 people engage in the act of art-making, watching the aluminium used take shape before their very eyes.
