The art of giving


The Christmas exhibition at the Oriel CRiC Gallery always offers a surprise or two. This year is no exception. The joyful selection of paintings and prints is complemented by an assortment of small affordable works from the gallery’s stable of regular artists as well as from newcomers to the gallery.

 Giving is easy. Successful giving is an art. At this time of the year the gallery hopes to make it easy for visitors to find something for every taste to make finding and giving the perfect gift an even greater pleasure.



Go handmade this Christmas with fabulous jewellery, scarves, hand-made decorations, glass, love spoons and a great collection of ceramics by members of the South Wales Potters. Liz Lawrence, Graham Newing, Rachel Padley, Christine Gittins, Mary Cousins, Steve Hoselitz, David Stirrup, Gill Pittman and Patricia Kelly have all risen to the occasion with ceramics in various styles of splendid quality.

Alison Dupernex makes works of art to wear. She mixes cashmere, linen, cotton and silk in alchemy of colour and texture to provide a range which includes fine cosy wraps and scarves - all of which are timeless design classics with a contemporary feel.
New timeless pieces by glass maker Kathryn Roberts add sumptuous colour to stylish functionality. You may be counting the shopping days, but be of good seasonal cheer – you’ll find plenty in the gallery to add to your wish list.
