On Sunday 26th May at 2 p.m., Aberystwyth Arts Centre is delighted to present Ashton's Stones, an exquisite and heart-warming story about a little dog who wants to take care of all the stones he can find. Some are big and some are small. One is sad and another one feels cold. All of them need to be taken care of.

Every stone gets to follow Aston home and is greeted with a warm and cosy bed. His two parents, although very patient and understanding, gradually get more and more worried about the increasing number of stones in their living room.

After too long an absence from the Open Platform stage, Jez Danks returns to Aberystwyth Arts Centre with a no-holds-barred investigation that promises to enthral both urban and rural dwellers alike. This latest show will attempt to deal with complex issues in a meaningful and stimulating way, featuring original dialogue, diagrams and, as ever, the show will be peppered with music and song.

Christopher produces both vitreous enamel jewellery and sculptural items. Variations in the firing temperature, firing time, and thickness of application of the enamel powder, can affect the finished article, meaning each piece is hand made and unique. Christopher is exhibiting his works at various craft fairs throughout the year (full list below), on his own and as part of The Forgotten Skills Group. The group's aim is to try to bring back skills that were once in everyday use until quite recently via a series of events, shows, talks and teaching seminars, to both young and old alike.
