Collection: Lydia Latham

Cwblhaodd Lydia ei chwrs sylfaen celf yng Ngholeg Menai; yma, darganfyddodd ei chariad at luniadu llinell gain a brodwaith. Dan arweiniad Alison Mercer ac Iwan Parry, bu’n archwilio lluniadu bywyd gan ddefnyddio technegau brodwaith i efelychu’r lluniadu llinell gain yr oedd yn ei hoffi. Yn Ysgol Gelf Manceinion, datblygodd ei sgiliau ymhellach, gan astudio BA (Anrh) mewn Brodwaith. Yn 2011, cyflwynwyd Lydia i gerfio llwyau gan Jo Alexander, gweithiwr pren gwyrdd uchel ei barch. Ar ôl blynyddoedd o feithrin ei sgiliau cerfio llwyau, dechreuodd Lydia archwilio technegau addurnol a chanfod cysylltiad â kolrosio, gan ei fod yn rhannu llawer o rinweddau tebyg i luniadu llinell gain.

Lydia completed her Art Foundation in Coleg Menai; here, she discovered her love of fine line drawing and embroidery. Under the tuition of Alison Mercer and Iwan Parry, she explored life drawing with embroidery techniques to mimic the fine line drawing that she was drawn to. At Manchester School of Art she developed her skills further, studying a BA(Hons) in Embroidery. In 2011 Lydia was introduced to spoon carving by Jo Alexander, a well-respected green wood worker. After years of honing her spoon carving skills, Lydia started exploring decorative techniques and found an affinity with Kolrosing, as it shared many similar qualities to fine line drawing.
