Valley to Llansantffraid, showing the work of fifteen artists, with a further number sharing studios in Oswestry.
The stunning, innovative work of Jan Singleton working in contemporary stained and fused glass, can be seen at the Pandy Mill Studio and Gallery in a most picturesque setting in Pandy. The gallery itself is an extraordinarily beautiful space and the perfect setting for her exceptional work. The artist has perfected her techniques over more than 20 years and has advanced the copper foil technique to the point where she can construct large floor to ceiling panels, without the need for obtrusive strengthening bars. An abstract panel entitled "Seven", representing seven levels of life, is on permanent display amongst her other work at the gallery.

If he pulls his money out he will force it to close and the community is already struggling through the recession. What future will they have without jobs?
