We Welcome the Makers Using Technology Residents | Croesawn artistiaid preswyl Gwneuthurwyr yn Defnyddio Technoleg
Back in October Design Wales Forum made a call out for four Makers Using Technology residencies at the National Center for Product Design and Research (PDR) funded by the Arts Council of Wales. These residencies present an opportunity for makers to learn a haptic modelling system and use 3D printing technologies to create a new body of work. Aside from the technical training, the residents will have additional support to launch and publicise their work. Design Wales Forum received a large number of outstanding applications and choosing only four finalists was not an easy job for the panel.
The selection process went through two panels. The first panel consisted of:
- Louise Wright Portfolio Manager at The Arts Council Wales
- Simon Burgess Gallery Manager at The Makers Guild Wales
- Karen Dell'Ami Jewellery Designer
- Victoria Jones (ISD) Design Advisor at Design Wales Forum
The panel whittled the entries down to six makers. Design Wales Forum sends a big thank you to the first panel, their efforts are much appreciated. The final six makers were interviewed last week by the Makers Using Technology team: Peter Dorrington, Tom Edmunds and Victoria Jones with the Operations Director of Design Wales and PDR Gavin Cawood.
So, without further ado meet the Makers Using Technology residents:
Yn ôl ym mis Hydref galwodd Fforwm Dylunio Cymru am bedwar cyfnod preswyl Gwneuthurwr yn Defnyddio Technoleg yn y Ganolfan Genedlaethol Dylunio Cynnyrch ac Ymchwil (PDR) a ariennir gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru. Bydd y cyfnodau preswyl hyn yn rhoi’r cyfle i wneuthurwyr ddysgu am system modelu haptig a defnyddio technolegau argraffu 3D i greu corff newydd o waith. Ar wahân i hyfforddiant technegol, caiff yr artistiaid preswyl gefnogaeth ychwanegol i lansio a rhoi cyhoeddusrwydd i’w gwaith. Derbyniodd Fforwm Dylunio Cymru nifer fawr o geisiadau rhagorol ac nid oedd dewis pedwar yn unig ar gyfer y rownd derfynol yn waith hawdd i’r panel.
Aeth y broses ddewis drwy ddau banel. Roedd y panel cyntaf yn cynnwys:
- Louise Wright Rheolwr Portffolio, Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru
- Simon Burgess Rheolwr Oriel, Urdd Gwneuthurwyr Cymru
- Karen Dell'Ami Cynllunydd Gemwaith
- Victoria Jones (ISD) Cynghorydd Dylunio, Fforwm Dylunio Cymru
Dewisodd y panel chwe gwneuthurwr allan o’r cynigion. Hoffai Fforwm Dylunio Cymru ddiolch o waelod calon i’r panel cyntaf, gwerthfawrogir eu hymdrechion yn fawr. Cafodd y chwe gwneuthurwr terfynol eu cyfweld yr wythnos ddiwethaf gan y tîm Gwneuthurwyr yn Defnyddio Technoleg: Peter Dorrington, Tom Edmunds a Victoria Jones gyda Chyfarwyddwr Dylunio Cymru a PDR, Gavin Cawood.
Felly, heb oedi pellach, dewch i gwrdd â’r artistiaid preswyl Gwneuthurwyr yn Defnyddio Technoleg:
