Dioramas of Dyffryn

Pupils from Ysgol Bro Lleu worked with local artist Luned Rhys Parri to create these dioramas inspired by Dyffryn Nantlle.

Using recycled everyday materials and historic photographs of the valley, they brought together past and present. The dioramas capture familiar places and everyday life, showing how our sense of belonging is shaped by the places we inherit and the memories we create.
