Cranogwen Statue update: Kezi Ferguson and Seb Boyesen are working on covering the model of Cranogwen in clay and rendering the details this week.
Y diweddaraf am Gerflun Cranogwen: Mae Kezi Ferguson a Seb Boyesen yn gweithio ar orchuddio’r model o Cranogwen mewn clai ac yn rhoi’r manylion yr wythnos hon.
The life-sized framework has now been created and Seb and Kezi his assistant will now begin the clay modelling onto it. Smaller details such as buttons, pocket embroidery and her collar will be done separately. The plinth has been modelled in fibreglass to allow detailed work.
The head will be sculpted separately, and the hands will be re-cast and detailed.
Cranogwen’s little dog Fan will be readied soon to sit at her side!
Seb has generously offered to have another Open Studio in December/January to show their progress.
We hope you agree it looks really exciting, and that it is finally coming to life. Thank you again for all your support, and if you feel you can give a little more, we need to raise more for the garden redevelopment and spiralling costs for materials. Diolch.
Mae’r fframwaith maint llawn bellach wedi’i greu a bydd Seb a Kezi ei gynorthwyydd yn dechrau ar y modelu clai arno. Bydd manylion llai fel botymau, brodwaith poced a’i choler yn cael eu gwneud ar wahân. Mae’r plinth wedi’i fodelu mewn gwydr ffibr i ganiatáu gwaith manwl.
Bydd y pen yn cael ei gerflunio ar wahân, a bydd y dwylo’n cael eu hail-gastio a’u manylu.
Bydd Fan ci bach Cranogwen yn barod yn fuan i eistedd wrth ei hochr!
Mae Seb wedi cynnig yn hael i gael Stiwdio Agored arall ym mis Rhagfyr/Ionawr i ddangos eu cynnydd.
Gobeithio eich bod yn cytuno ei fod yn edrych yn gyffrous iawn, a’i fod yn dod yn fyw o’r diwedd. Diolch eto am eich holl gefnogaeth, ac os teimlwch y gallwch roi ychydig mwy, mae angen i ni godi mwy ar gyfer ailddatblygu’r ardd a chostau troellog ar gyfer deunyddiau. Diolch.
Diolch o galon i’r rhai sydd eisoes wedi rhoi mor hael i’n cronfa Gardd y Pentre Llangrannog. Mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo’n dda, gyda’r waliau cerrig gwreiddiol hardd wedi’u trwsio, ‘penau ceffylau’ (cerrig lleol mawr) yn eu lle a’r gwaith ar y llawr yn dechrau. Rydym bellach yn defnyddio llechi Gogledd Cymru ar gyfer y ffiniau barddoniaeth, sy’n arbed arian.
Gyda chynnydd ym mhopeth o ddeunyddiau i gostau dosbarthu, rydym yn wirioneddol obeithio cyrraedd ein targed o £8,000. Rhaid inni hefyd ailadeiladu’r grisiau i’r ardd isaf fel eu bod yn fwy hygyrch a diogel nag o’r blaen; dyfynnwyd hyn yn £1,000.

Many, many thanks to those who have already given so generously to our Llangrannog Village Garden fund. Work is going well, with the beautiful original stone walls mended, ‘horses heads’ (large local stones) in place and the work on the floor beginning. We are now using North Wales slate for the poetry borders, which saves money.
With increases in everything from materials to delivery costs, we are really hoping to hit our £8,000 target. We must also rebuild the steps to the lower garden so they are more accessible and safe than before; this has been quoted at £1,000.
