On Thursday 12 March, pupils from Ysgol Maesydderwen, Ystradgynlais, and the community group Welfare Wonder Women had a special opportunity to engage with art from the National Library of Wales. Staff from the Library brought two important works of art from Aberystwyth to The Welfare in Ystradgynlais to create a unique and inspiring experience for everyone involved.
The pupils and community group took part in creative workshops led by artist Elissa V Evans, where they had the opportunity to see Josef Herman's Mother and Child and Claudia Williams' Mothers & Children.
The sessions explored how different artists have interpreted the theme of mother and child. In the workshops, the pupils and women drew inspiration from Herman and Williams’s paintings to create their own works using the same themes.
