Gethin fancied trying out our new @CanonUKandIE #dslr camera last week. Will post his pictures once I’ve worked out how to get them off the #camera! In the meantime here’s a bit of sunshine from last week!

@michaelsheen @AdultCaerphilly Thanks so much, our artists with Learning Disabilities will be so chuffed with your feedback!

[Caerphilly Adult Community Learning @AdultCaerphilly]

On the 4 November 1839, 22 people were killed during the Chartist Uprising in Newport. We were inspired to create this artwork after listening to Michael Sheen’s passionate speech about the uprising and their quest for justice, democracy and equality.

A thought provoking #vanitas painting by Aled. #coronavirus and #death but also a butterfly of #hope
