Talysarn
School Project ~ August
2005 Children
in Talysarn School have been working with the artist
Luned Rhys Parri to create a huge mural that reflects
life in the village. The
mural was shown in the Countryside
Council for Wales  pavilion
at the National Eisteddfod in the Faenol Estate. 
They
used ‘papier mache’ to create work in
3D to interpret the area, the slate industry, the
old quarrymen’s terraced houses, as well as
looking at the area’s cultural heritage through
the poetry of R.
Williams Parry. The
project was funded by the Countryside Council for
Wales through a partnership with the National Eisteddfod.
It supports the National Assembly’s Communities
First status for the area. The
mural has now been returned to the school.
The local people would like to bid for funding to
re-create the mural on the gable end of the new extension
on Talysarn’s Community centre.
