Collection: Cefyn Burgess

Wedi ei eni a'i fagu ym mhentref chwarel lechi Bethesda, Gogledd Cymru graddiodd o Fanceinion gyda BA (Anrh) mewn tecstilau gwehyddu ac yna MA mewn tecstilau o'r Coleg Celf Brenhinol.
Gan adael Llundain ar ddiwedd y 1980au daeth yn wehydd preswyl cyntaf yn Amgueddfa Sidan Paradise Mill yn Macclesfield, a rhoddodd hyn y cyfle iddo ddatblygu ei ystod wreiddiol o ffabrigau sidan cain wedi'u gwehyddu â llaw. Ers hynny mae wedi bod yn dylunio ffabrigau wedi’u gwehyddu jacquard a chynnyrch mewnol o safon gan gynnwys ei ystod o flancedi tapestri Cymreig, cwiltiau, taflu a chlustogau. Mae ei gleientiaid wedi cynnwys sefydliadau mawr yn ogystal ag unigolion sydd wedi comisiynu dyluniadau pwrpasol i gyd wedi'u gwehyddu mewn ffibrau naturiol.
Mae ei waith wedi’u harddangos mewn Orielau ledled Cymru, y DU, UDA ac Ewrop.

Mae ei ddyluniadau'n cael eu creu i weddu i unrhyw leoliad, o gastell i ystafell ac yn ymateb i friff y cleient ond hefyd gan gymryd i ystyriaeth ei gefndir diwylliannol ei hun gan roi apêl Gymreig nodedig i'r dyluniadau ond gydag ailddehongliad cyfoes o'r traddodiadol. O’i siop stiwdio yng Nghanolfan Grefft Rhuthun mae hefyd yn stocio amrywiaeth o ffabrigau llenni a chlustogwaith yn ogystal â chynnyrch gan gynnwys blancedi, taflu a chlustogau.

Yn ddiweddar, mae Cefyn wedi bod yn gweithio ar brosiect cyfnewid diwylliannol gyda Gogledd Ddwyrain India sydd wedi ysbrydoli casgliad newydd o ffabrigau a gweithiau arddangos.

Born and raised in the slate quarry village of Bethesda, North Wales he graduated from Manchester with a BA (hons) in woven textiles then an MA in textiles from the Royal College of Art.

Leaving London in the late 1980’s he became the first weaver in residence at Paradise Mill Silk Museum in Macclesfield, this gave him the opportunity to develop his original range of fine hand woven silk fabrics. Since then he has been designing jacquard woven fabrics and quality interior products including his range of Welsh tapestry blankets, quilts, throws and cushions. His clients have included large organisations as well as individuals that have commissioned bespoke designs all woven in natural fibres.

His textile drawings and illustrations have been exhibited in Galleries throughout Wales, the UK, The USA and Europe.

His designs are created to suit any setting from a castle to a room and respond to the clients brief but also taking into account his own cultural background giving the designs a distinctive Welsh appeal but with a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional. From his studio shop at Ruthin Craft Centre he also stocks a variety of curtain and upholstery fabrics as well as products including blankets, throws and cushions.

Recently, Cefyn has been working on a cultural exchange project with North East India. which has inspired a new collection of fabrics and exhibition works.
