Description
Craft in the Bay is located on the “Flourish” at the south end of Lloyd George Avenue. The Gallery consists of the refurbished “D” Shed, a Grade II listed maritime warehouse together with a modern extension. The gallery is opposite the Wales Millennium Centre and close to the iconic Senedd Welsh Assembly Building.The building opened to the public in June 2002 and is now used as an exhibition and craft retail area. It is sheer-glazed on two sides to provide views into the exhibition space. The extension was designed as a contrasting element and accommodates demonstration studios, conference space, office and a café with a dramatic pointed roof projecting over an outside seating space. The Makers Guild in Wales was previously based in the Cory’s Buildings in Bute Street from 1998 to May 2002. It was during this time that The Makers Guild in Wales started negotiations and the raising of £1.4 million to move, construct and refurbish the “D” shed. The project took over five years to plan and was funded by a myriad of sponsors both large and small who each made a vital contribution to the project in some way, they include Arts and Heritage Lottery Boards; the European Regional Development Fund; Wales Tourist Board; various Charitable Trusts, including The Wright Trust and Garfield Weston Foundation; and members of the public and of The Makers Guild in Wales.
