Arts, crafts and such

• The Art Shop in Pier street.. been there forever, superb selection if it isnt in there, you dont need it!
• Art Shop top of Pier Street...if they aint got it... it isnt Art!!!
• Arts centre, some nice exhibitions and good cafe.
• Very pukka main gallery plus two smaller photo/art galleries and a ceramics gallery at the Arts Centre. Wonderful Craft Shop in there as well. TOKO in Eastgate Street does good craft stuff, run .by a very nice woman called Jan
• The Arts Centre is pretty is it not, lends a touch of arty class to Aberystwyth, for rich people, lecturers and dreamy students. Also the National Library is an outsanding resource! Looks very much like the archives from the film Goldenye, where Bond and Natalya are being chased by Ourumov and his guards.
• CRAFT behind the glen and the bay. Hippah homemade tables and artwork
• Kraxi, Polly

• the little craft fair at the arts centre at christmas if fab
• Biognosis have a craft fair thingy going on at the mo... lots of twee rubbish plus some funky stuff. Stars and Polly's are also pretty decent.
• Arts Centre surprisingly good for such a small town. Not top notch, but good. There's also displays at the National Library and the School of Art which everybody forgets.
• mmmm.... well, there's some nice furniture and pottery on Biognosis on pier street, I suppose.
• There is a museum opposite varsity and its usually closed. A much smaller one is open since April till August on the top of Constitution Hill, and there are all kinds of small but generally nice venues in the Arts Center
• A craftsman I think everyone should know about is Mr LYNDON DAVIES the JEWELLER, whos cosy shop is situated at no.4 Eastgate. Has 25 years experience in the gold and silver trade which becomes obvious when you see his work. Majority of work is handmade items made from scratch to your exact specifications, no limitations to his ability, gold or silver, giving you a totally unique item of handcrafted jewellery. Also does repairs of all kinds, chains, watches, clocks etc and offers a Valuation for Insurance service with fully detailed printed document, with full check and clean within the price. Lyndon has even had an article about his work published in a South American Newspaper and has people from that area requesting his catalogue. Basically, this man is wonderful...give him a visit!!!!!!
• There's a lot of this in the Arts Centre on campus at the university - Art Gallery and purchasing especially... some crafts occasionally...

• The Arts Centre. Has a huge pre-Christmas arts/crafts fair lasting for about two months. The Camera Obscura Gift Shop - varied craft items for sale, many made by local people with learning disabilities (gift shop owned by a local charity called "Prospects for people with learning disabilities")
• Kraxi has a lot of nice celtic jewelry, specifically Rhiannon - a great local artist.
