Crafts Midwales

WOOL & WILLOW ARTIST

Welcome to Crafts MidWales

Crafts MidWales was created by Beryl Smith to promote and showcase the Wool and Willow products that she produces as a Weaver and Basketmaker.

Located in the beautiful uplands of Montgomeryshire, the landscapes from her studio are her Inspiration.

Pieces are for sale and commissions undertaken. Twice yearly, in June and December, she exhibits locally.

Happy customers

“So pleased were we with Beryl’s work that we later commissioned her to make a sculpture of the mythical figure Blodeuwedd, which played a key role in a children’s drama production in one of our woods.  The whole event, including the sculpture, was a great success, with a very positive feedback from those who saw it.”

“Not only does Beryl produce beautifully crafted willow sculptures within an agreed timescale – she is also a pleasure to work with in terms of her clear communication, her promptness in responding to queries and her willingness to respond to suggestions without compromising the finished product.”
