ABOUT US

Oriel Glasfryn Gallery is owned by Dave and Lise Roberts. Dave is a professional landscape artist and together it was their life-long dream to run a gallery that showcases the best contemporary artists and makers from across Wales. So, in 2019 they bought Glasfryn Hall, a fine country house that they are now lucky enough to call home, and they started to turn their dream into reality.

Oriel Glasfryn Gallery opened at Easter 2022 and is the only independent art gallery in North East Wales.

We present the finest original Welsh art and craft from a variety of mediums including painting, jewellery, ceramics, sculpture, glass, textiles, wood and metalwork. We take pride in the fact that all of our artists are from Wales

History of Glasfryn Hall

Glasfryn Hall is the home of the Roberts family.

We moved here five years ago from nearby Rhes-y-Cae and you will find most of us working around the gallery in various roles!

The main gallery opened in 2022 and is open all year, while we open Glasfryn Hall three times a year for special Spring, Summer and Winter exhibitions.

The Hall was originally built in 1878 by William Williams, a local timbermerchant. Although it has changed hands several times it has always been a family home.

We hope you enjoy your visit!
