“Complements all things that Tŷ Pawb offers”

Since opening Siop/Shop has commissioned six artists to celebrate Wrexham including the launch of Tŷ Pawb itself just over 12 months ago. They also arrange for opportunities to meet the artists themselves at the “meet the makers” events that accompany exhibitions.

Siop/Shop “complements all things that Tŷ Pawb has to offer and an excellent example of this is the former Hippodrome light which was moved to the South Arcade after being restored. It had previously been an integral part of the former Hippodrome Theatre and was rescued by Wrexham History group.

Designer Tim Denton worked through the Designer Maker Project – a collaboration between Tŷ Pawb and CAIS through Cyfle Cymru which mentors and gives employment experience for people with experience of substance misuse and mental health conditions – to make a bespoke version of the lamp using contemporary Scandinavian design and steam bending techniques. The lamps are proving very popular and there’s a waiting list for them whilst more are lovingly produced!
