Mae Making Merrie gan Lewis Prosser yn brosiect perfformio dwyieithog a ysbrydolwyd gan ddramâu mummers ac sydd wedi cuddio traddodiadau’r ffin rhwng Cymru a Lloegr. Mae pob perfformiad yn stori ddirybudd am frwydro, marwolaeth, ac adfywiad gwyrthiol. Yn cynnwys gwisgoedd gwiail mawr wedi'u crefftio gan ddefnyddio technegau helyg traddodiadol. mae'r prosiect yn dathlu crefftwaith cynaliadwy ac iaith esblygol fel ffyrdd o gysylltu'n ddyfnach.

If you’re in NYC, this is the final week to see Shared Ground.

We wanted to make an exhibition where the objects playfully participate in a transatlantic conversation between craft, culture and landscape. Baskets on a first date, fumbling around to find the common ground.

Hello! I'm announcing a call out for five UK basedbasketmakers to take part in -The Baskets Between Carnival and Lent', a @celfcymruarts funded project and exhibition at @oriel_myrddin (March–June 2027).

The project looks at all the baskets in the painting The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (1559) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, reimagining them through contemporary basketmaking, music, and performance. It asks how everyday objects like baskets can connect people, places, and histories?

The selected makers will work alongside invited makers Rachel Frost, Katy Bremer, Steen Madsen, Pau Trepat, and Flo Hamer (and me)

The call out is particularly aimed at emerging and developing basket makers who are interested in experimentation, interpretation, and learning as you go. You do not need to be a full-time basketmaker to apply.

Selected makers will receive £800 to produce two baskets for exhibition. Three places are reserved for Wales-based makers, with two open UK-wide.

Deadline for applications: 5 June 2026

More info via the link in my bio.

Rydyn ni’n gwahodd pum basgedwr o’r DU i gymryd rhan yn The Baskets Between Carnival and Lent, prosiect wedi’i ariannu gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru ac arddangosfa yn Oriel Myrddin (Mawrth–Mehefin 2027).

Mae’r prosiect yn edrych ar yr holl fasgedi sydd yn y paentiad The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (1559) gan Pieter Bruegel yr Hynaf, gan eu hail-ddychmygu drwy waith basgedu cyfoes, cerddoriaeth a pherfformio. Mae’n gofyn sut mae gwrthrychau bob dydd fel basgedi yn gallu cysylltu pobl, llefydd a hanesion drwy wneud.

Bydd y basgedwyr a ddewisir yn gweithio ochr yn ochr â Rachel Frost, Katy Bremer, Steen Madsen, Pau Trepat, Flo Hamer (a fi.)

Mae’r galwad yn arbennig o agored i wneuthurwyr sy’n datblygu ac yn dod i mewn i’r maes, ac sydd â diddordeb mewn arbrofi, dehongli a dysgu drwy wneud. Does dim rhaid i chi fod yn fasgedwr amser llawn i wneud cais.

Bydd pob un a ddewisir yn cael £800 i greu dau fasged ar gyfer yr arddangosfa.

Mae tri lle wedi’u neilltuo ar gyfer basgedwyr o Gymru, a dau le ar agor ar draws y DU.

Dyddiad cau: 5 Mehefin 2026

Delighted to share that I’ve received @celfcymruarts funding for a new curatorial project, The Baskets Between Carnival and Lent.

The project brings together basketmakers from across Europe to remake every basket in Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (1559). Shifting them from image into functional craft, music, and performance.

Developed for exhibition at @oriel_myrddin in 2027, in partnership with @heritagecrafts and @basketmakersassociation the project asks how baskets, which seem unimportant, are actually a unifying part of human life, and how through craft we might better understand each other across time and culture.

I’ll be announcing an open call for makers at the end of May. So keep an eye out.

Falch iawn i rannu mod i wedi cael cyllid ACW ar gyfer prosiect curadurol newydd, The Baskets Between Carnival and Lent.

Mae’r prosiect yn dod â basgedwyr o bob cwr o Ewrop at ei gilydd i ail-greu pob basged yn llun Pieter Bruegel yr Hynaf The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (1559). Gan symud nhw o ddelwedd i grefft ymarferol, cerddoriaeth, a pherfformiad.

Wedi’i ddatblygu i’w arddangos yn Oriel Myrddin yn 2027, mewn partneriaeth â Heritage Crafts a’r Basketmakers’ Association, mae’r prosiect yn gofyn sut mae basgedi sy’n edrych yn ddi-bwys mewn gwirionedd yn rhywbeth sy’n uno bywyd dynol, a sut drwy grefft gallwn ni ddeall ein gilydd yn well ar draws amser a diwylliant.

Bydda i’n cyhoeddi galwad agored am wneuthurwyr ddiwedd mis Mai.

✨SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT + SAVE THE
DATE✨

CM Cardiff is officially BACK in action!🚀

On Friday 27th March we’re so thrilled to welcome Lewis Prosser🎤
March theme: LOCAL!

Lewis Prosser is an absurdist basketmaker, artist and curator based in Penarth. Using traditional craft techniques alongside performance, he explores regional identity, cultural exchange and public ceremony. His work employs humour and theatricality to trace relationships between objects, people and place, often through the creation of outlandish basketry forms.

In this CreativeMornings talk, he will demonstrate a few traditional weaving techniques while reflecting on his own journey into basketry. Like the process of making a basket, the talk will be an improvised, unpredictable dialogue between material and maker, exploring themes of craft access, sustainable making, and the importance of having fun.🧺🎨🖌️

More info:https://creativemornings.com/talks/local-with-lewis-prosser

More details dropping soon — we’ll keep you posted 👀

📆 Friday 27th March
⏰ 8:30–10:00AM
📍 TBC

Listen to Vogum Gertlin, the villain in Lewis Prosser’s play “Making Merrie” as he takes to the streets of New York.

#lewisprosser #contemporarybasketry #fiberart #britishcraft #radicalcraft

This time last year - echoes of MAKING MERRIE, Ionawr/January 2025 - it was a huge delight to be invited by @clovisvosser AKA Lewis Prosser to go 'on the mum' in a big basket over at Mission Gallery, Swansea, and Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, as a certain Vogum Gertlin, bwgan knight etc. See here pictures, scripts, and live illustrations.

Written and woven all by Lewis, MM draws heavily from the British folk tradition of a group of 'mummers' staging small scale plays in pubs, living rooms, village halls. Members of the community, dressing in weird n wonderful costumes, would portray archetypal characters (usually involving a killing, then a resurrection etc), before offering around a hat for some cash.

'LONGSIDE -

Goyle Cornett - @buoys_buoys_buoys "Ee'm be smiling, shining, Cornett!"
Woman with the Big Head - @katrinakobain "for failure elusive, I'll go all inclusive..."
Parsnabbler O Grog - @clareparryjones "Doctor nooo, Parsnabbler dw i!"

Folklore/practice, whilst seeing a resurgence in popular culture, can often feel locked away and gatekept by those who have a certain level of 'knowledge' (or even aesthetic) but without involving a raucous, inclusive community component, folklore dies. It is not something to be 'attained', it is there for all of us to plunder, for it is by definition our shared, communal histories of practicing faith, superstition, and mystery. Lewis' provocative and heartfelt work readdresses this through the gathering of audiences and people, and his generosity and commitment to craft prove that with him, his treatment of 'folk', whatever that may look like, is in safe hands.

(Probably should've written that earlier for participant feedback on the completion report... sorry lad.)

Lewis' provocative and heartfelt work readdresses this through the gathering of audiences and people, and his generosity and commitment to craft prove that with him, his treatment of 'folk', whatever that may look like, is in safe hands.

(Probably should've written that earlier for participant feedback on the completion report... sorry lad.)

This time last year - echoes of MAKING MERRIE, Ionawr/January 2025 - it was a huge delight to be invited by @clovisvosser AKA Lewis Prosser to go 'on the mum' in a big basket over at Mission Gallery, Swansea, and Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, as a certain Vogum Gertlin, bwgan knight etc. See here pictures, scripts, and live illustrations.

Written and woven all by Lewis, MM draws heavily from the British folk tradition of a group of 'mummers' staging small scale plays in pubs, living rooms, village halls. Members of the community, dressing in weird n wonderful costumes, would portray archetypal characters (usually involving a killing, then a resurrection etc), before offering around a hat for some cash.

Lewis Prosser donned his baskets-cum-costume to perform as Vogum Gurtlin, the villain in his play “Making Merrie.”

What happens when an English basket maker takes to the streets of New York? 🧺🎭🗽
