It was with great sadness recently that we heard about the loss of Molly Curley. Molly was one of Oriel Makers' founder members and continued to play an important part in it's running throughout our thirty years as an independent contemporary craft and art gallery. Her common sense, humour, kindness and energy have played a large part in our continued success.

Molly was a potter and her distinctive slip ware pieces were recognised and collected widely. Her influence was wide ranging, from her years teaching, to the formation of the Makers Guild in Wales and support of many other creative organisations, campaigns and events across South Wales.

Molly was an inspiration and continues to be much missed by all of us at Oriel Makers.
