The art cart starts this Saturday in Oriel 1, St Fagans:National History Museum from 11 until 1 and 2 until 4. We will be creating art works inspired by the new exhibtion Pop Peth Music & Me and making collages based on the Goddess Durga.

When you are enjoying a break in Bardi's Cafe or the Resturant, why not draw or colour in a picture? The pictures below show the kind of activities available for your enjoyment!

A few photos from last weekend's "Magic flute" event in which Gareth Riseborough tried to make replicas of a medieval and a possible Neolithic flute.

He was successful in both projects. The medieval flute plays very well and looks fantastic. The Neolithic whistle looks the piece, but is very difficult to play - no fault of Gareth's there, the reason he was trying to replicate the original was to see whether it was actually a whistle, or whether it might have been simply a dog-chewed bone.

More photos from finished events... This time Sally demonstrating dyeing with natural dyes.

The orange comes from madder, the yellow from weld, blue from woad, and green is a mix of woad and weld.

At last, the first review for Saving St Teilo's has come in.

Reviews make me nervous but in a good, exciting way. I never really dread seeing them but it is a truth universally acknowledged (in publishing at least) that you can't keep all of the people happy all of the time. So, sooner or later we'll get a stinker. But not this time –

"Gerallt Nash’s book also conveys a spirit rarely found in museum publications – pride and joy, craftsmanship and passion, a genuine sense of adventure and achievement. It makes the reader not just want to see St Teilo’s, but also to wish that they had rolled up their sleeves and lent a hand in its rescue."

Meic Stephens was chatting to Gari Melville last Saturday in Oriel 1, St Fagans:National History museum. He discussed, amongst other things, his new album on the way, what kind of music he's been listening to and who would play him in a film about his life - Robin Williams apparently.
