Llongyfarchiadau Mai Thomas!
Mai is spending time with the erratics of Lleniog Beach, learning their origin stories and understanding their complex material makeup. Her monumental scale drawings will be created from natural pigments derived from the landscape itself.

Llongyfarchiadau Angharad Ffion Martin!
Angharad is learning about the complex and intertwined ecosystems of our most local environment - the Aberlleiniog woodland. She is creating a series of animal forms, light and sound sculptures created from natural and foraged materials, covered with semi-translucent naturally preserved leaves.

Llongyfarchiadau Ellen Davies & Meilyr Tomos
They’re creating an interactive soundscape that turns geology and climate data into music and movement — blending live cello, dance, traditional notation and immersive audio. They are tapping into the seismic activity of the Menai Straits and diving deep into the geological record. They have interviewed Dr Anthony Heeley, Iwan Kellett and have been recording, composing and creating!

About
The Trail takes place annually, within the timings of the well-established Anglesey Open Studios.
We work in partnership with all the landowners and related committees - Menter Môn, Llangoed and Penmon Community Council and Anglesey County Council highways department.
The Trail is headquartered and hosted by Llangoed Village Hall.
The Trail is produced by Plas Bodfa Projects CIC, who manages the fundraising, permissions, the collaborative projects, commissions, communications and the Open Call.
