Special Visitors
Pandy Mill Gallery was delighted to welcome Olympic Gold Medallist Ellen Hunter and her husband Paul. They were cycling up the Ceiriog valley on a training run and just popped in for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake! They also had a good look at the art, especially Jan's glass work - Ellen has a strong interest in glass design. We hope to see them again.
Jan has fitted a new window in the Tearoom of the gallery. Come and take a look!
'Heavy Load'
Jan has completed a large glass window panel (below) for a private home in the Ceiriog valley.
'Knot of Life'
Make sure you don't miss the new glass panel (below) which Jan has completed for the front door of the gallery. View it from both sides and see two very different pieces of art.
