Current projects: Bwlch Nant-yr-Arian

with the Forestry Commission Wales

This project will provide interpretive artwork for a new Visitor Centre and forest trails 10 miles east of Aberystwyth, mid-Wales.

Creu-ad has designed and made a range of interpretive art work within the Visitor Centre:

• children's tables and seating
• a large wooden wall panel
• bilingual text reflecting poetic responses to the woodland
• banners that express sensual and emotional reactions to trees and woodland.

A series of workshops were held with local primary schools and with older children to develop ideas for the banners and texts and other objects within the Centre.

Outside, an innovative gateway sculpture has been made for the Kite Trail and a wood and slate starter marker for the Ridge Trail that leads the walker to a viewing point where a large interpretive mosaic panel has been installed.

The mosaic interprets the emotional and cultural value of trees and woodlands, the importance of specific species, including the red kite and the way in which the landscape has been used, altered and managed by humans.
