Oriel Seren

Regretfully the Gallery will be closed until further notice.  We will re-open as soon as we deem it safe to do so.

Oriel Seren is a not-for-profit Art and Craft Gallery exhibiting and selling work by professional artists and craftspeople. There is an emphasis on local artists and craftspeople but Oriel Seren also displays work by people from further afield including from other rural areas.

Oriel Seren is situated in a prime location on the main shopping street in the market town of Machynlleth, Powys, within the Dyfi Valley Biosphere area. The Gallery offers customers the chance to view and buy unique, handmade pieces of art and craftwork. Oriel Seren provides artists with a cost-effective, professional exhibition space and retail outlet.

The Artists’ page on this website gives details of the Featured and Taster artists who are displaying work in Oriel Seren throughout the year.  Each month we will have a different Guest Artist (see Current Guest Artist page). For information on past exhibitors please view the Previous Guest Artists page.

April 2020 – Our Guest Artist was to have been Anne Ashcroft.  We are pleased to announce that she will be with us, to show her paintings, in April 2021.

Anne is a permanent artist in the gallery showing her Brooches, Necklaces, Hair-slides and Earrings, as well as small Pictures and Boxes.  Some examples of these works are below:

May 2020 – Our Guest Artist should have been Rachel Payne.  Instead, she will be our guest in May 2021.   

Below are a few pieces of her work:

I have painted all my life but am still learning.  The paint I like best is watercolour as it teaches you:  to look;  the discipline of waiting and seeing what happens;  the effects of pigments ; about the different types of paper and waters.  The abundance of beautiful things around us , from sky to ground  means there is a never-ending supply of good things to paint.  Maybe I will master it one day, or not.

Oriel Seren has been created by local artists who share a passion for quality hand-made arts and crafts.  We provide an opportunity for locals and visitors to experience excellence in art and craft.

We also offer Guest Artist exhibitions at the gallery.

Do visit us to see all the beautiful work we have on show.
