0:30:29 > 0:30:35- I'm thinking of attending - this year's Eisteddfod in Anglesey.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41- It's a century - since the famous Eisteddfod of 1917.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- There's been lots of talk - of the Black Chair.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51- It feels strange that 100 years - have past since it was made...
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- ..and people still flock here - to view the Chair.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- The Black Chair won by Hedd Wyn - in 1917 has been repaired...
0:30:58 > 0:31:03- ..and has returned to its - rightful place at Yr Ysgwrn.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- Small pieces had fallen off so we - sent it to the South to be repaired.
0:31:11 > 0:31:18- It returned having been polished - and looking fantastic.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Yes, the Black Chair has been - returned safely to Yr Ysgwrn.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- Two Eisteddfod Chairs have come - from this workshop in Ysbyty Ifan.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- The first was by the late - Huw Selwyn Owen in 1989...
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- ..for the National Eisteddfod - in Llanrwst.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- This year's Chair was carved by - Rhodri Owen, the son of Huw Sel.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- Eisteddfod Chairs - tend to be very large...
0:31:56 > 0:32:01- ..so it was quite a challenge - to make it in this small workshop.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- I'm delighted to have had the chance - to make it and that it's worked out.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11- It's the centenary of Hedd Wyn - and the Black Chair...
0:32:11 > 0:32:17- ..and it's difficult - to avoid comparing the two Chairs.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- The Snowdonia National Park - asked me to make a Chair...
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- ..that carried - the message of peace...
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- ..and that Wales is moving forward - as a peaceful nation.
0:32:43 > 0:32:55- Congratulations, Rhodri.
0:32:55 > 0:33:02- Everyone was delighted - with the Chair.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- The Chair is made from special wood.

0:33:23 > 0:33:33- Hedd Wyn would have - seen these trees grow.
0:33:33 > 0:33:42- There are elements of the Black - Chair in my own design.

0:34:06 > 0:34:18- What do you think of the Chair?
0:34:21 > 0:34:33- The Chair is very different and - shows the maker's imagination.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- It wouldn't fit in my house.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56- Rhodri has been to Crickhowell - Resource and Information Centre.
0:37:13 > 0:37:19- You'll be right in thinking that - these works are completely unique.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- You won't see - anything like them anywhere else!
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- There's the Twrch Trwyth boar, - birds, deer and horses.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32- Helly Powell's work - is certainly innovative.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Helly's work is unique.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- She uses textiles - in a very unusual way.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45- She's inspired by taxidermy but - uses textiles to form the animals.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Crickhowell's CRiC Gallery - is a charity.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- The gallery strives to - support artists from the local area.

0:37:59 > 0:38:05- The gallery is hosting an exhibition - by the artist, Helly Powell.
0:38:05 > 0:38:13- Her textile work is based on - Welsh legends from the Mabinogion.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- I wouldn't have - a piece of taxidermy on my wall.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- I love Victorian taxidermy that you - see in the Natural History Museum.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28- When they went off on a grand tour, - they brought animals back.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- It was the only way of showing - what was out there in the world.
0:38:33 > 0:38:39- I was looking at connecting - animals and the Welsh landscape.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- I found the Mabinogion and animals - play a huge role in the stories.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- The natural partnership - was to use Melin Tregwynt fabrics...
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- ..to have a little piece of - Welsh history hanging on your wall.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- There's a great interest - in the stories of the Mabinogion.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06- This year, even more people have - been inspired to read the stories.
0:39:06 > 0:39:12- The government and Literature Wales - have made it A Year of Legends.
0:39:12 > 0:39:17- Hunting, especially deer hunting - was important in the Mabinogion.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- In the first Branch of the Mabinogi, - Pwyll goes hunting in Glyn Cuch.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28- In the forest, he sees the hunting - dogs of Arawn, the King of Annwfn.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- Annwfn is the Welsh word - for the Otherworld.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Animals play an important part in - the Four Branches of the Mabinogi.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41- The character, Rhiannon - is associated with horses and birds.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50- The most famous of the Mabinogi - animals is the Twrch Trwyth.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Helly's interpretation - of the Twrch Trwyth is incredible...
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- ..just like everything - in her collection.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Believe it or not, a few hunters - have even purchased her work.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- However, the only real animal parts - in the collection are the antlers...
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- ..but the deer - sheds these naturally.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15- Don't worry, she doesn't use - real animals to create her work.
0:40:15 > 0:40:20- They're made from fibreglass - but they still look fantastic.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- There are also more traditional - works on display at the gallery.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29- The artist, Robert McDonald's pieces - compliment Helly's works perfectly.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- However, there's no doubt about - the main attraction for visitors.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- I'm originally from Cwmtwrch...
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- ..so there's no prizes - for guessing my favourite piece.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- It's fantastic and you won't see - anything more spectacular this year!
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- It's an innovative concept - and a completely new idea.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56- The Melin Tregwynt fabrics - work perfectly in her artwork.
0:40:56 > 0:41:01- You must your imagination - when reading the stories...
