About Artist Multiples
Artist multiples are a series of objects produced in small and limited editions. They can be created by an artist, a maker, a crafts-person or any kind of creative person. Creating a numbered set of multiples is especially useful when using production techniques that are not viable for producing one-off pieces, for example printing, laser cutting or casting.
The objects can be functional, sculptural, wearable, gift-able or hangable. They are made specifically for sale and are offered at an affordable price to encouraging distribution to a wide audience. Historically, multiples were seen as an alternative and more democratic means of creating and disseminating artwork, outside of the mainstream art market.

About Plas Bodfa
Plas Bodfa is a 100-year-old manor house on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, purchased three years ago by the husband and wife team of Jonathan Lewis and Julie Upmeyer.
While waiting for planning permissions, they have used empty house for exhibitions, performances and cultural projects of all kinds.
After its complete renovation, Plas Bodfa will be home to art studios, an artist residency program, holiday-lets, events, retreats, their family home and cultural projects of all kinds.
