Participation in the arts is at the heart of everything we do, and we focus on creating opportunities for those with least access, especially children and young people. We run arts and health programmes as well as projects that support the development of both traditional and digital arts skills.

Our Covid-19 update.. Peak’s building is now closed but our staff team will continue to work from their homes to support artists, young people and communities. We would love to stay connected with you through our social media channels and to share your experiences of this place, its nature and its people – resources which will help us through the current crisis. Feel free to tag us @peakcymru on social media platforms to say Helô and continue the conversation.

We’re currently reviewing the implications of Covid -19 on our planned artistic programme for 2020 and having conversations with artists, community partners and funders to approach these challenging times with collaboration and creativity. Sadly our studio courses have been cancelled until it is safe to reopen our building and we are asking participants to consider donating overpayments if at all possible. Contributions will directly fund our studio programme for Young People, including public events around sustainable living later in the year. We know that many people face difficult financial times during this crisis and if this is not an option please don’t hesitate to contact us for a refund.

Peak values creativity as an essential tool in everyone’s life and we look forward to welcoming you back later in the year for the sharing, friendship and enjoyment that characterise our creative programme.

A big thank you to health, care and public sector workers at this time and Pob lwc to those novice home-schoolers and young people working at home.

Take care / Cymerwch ofal – the Peak team, Justine, Rachel, Melissa & Dylan

Covid-19 Update Tuesday 17th March
We are closing Peak's premises at The Old School, Crickhowell from today to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 virus to our visitors, staff and wider community. Our Spring term studio programme of classes will finish immediately, earlier than planned, and we’ll be reviewing plans for the start of the summer term in May as the situation unfolds. Whilst our building is closed, our staff will continue to work to proactively support artists, young people and communities over the coming weeks – keep an eye on our social media platforms and website to follow our work. If you’ve got any queries in the meantime, please get in touch by contacting info@peak.cymru .

Take care

Mud machine workshop @peakcymru crickhowell with the talented young people of Criw Celf S Powys #mudmachine #mud #artworkshop #creativetechnology #arduino #ewaste #upcycling

Phew! Last day of Criw Celf today...storm Dennis delayed us but didn't stop us. 13 talented, curious, intelligent and considerate young artists aged between 11-15 worked with us over 4 intensive days this week. Workshops in ceramics, sustainable/environmental art, collage and drawing as well as a trip to @rwabristol @spikeisland @arnolfiniarts . In the words of one of the young artists this morning, "I've really loved the chance to work with artists who do this every day - I feel lucky that they are ready and happy to share with us, so I might be able to do this in the future too." Diolch yn fawr to the artists. #moragcolquhoun @zoepreece.ab @paulgranjon @amandamattcaines @sionmwaters @roxyshaw.art
#CriwCelf is kindly supported by @celfcymruarts and @powyscountycouncil .

Fridays always feel special at Peak, it's Pottery

Fridays always feel special at Peak, it's Pottery day. We run a class with @breconmind in the morning and then an open access class in the afternoon for beginners and more experienced potters alike. We have a slab roller, wheel and kiln on site. See our story to see a pot being thrown on the wheel by our experienced studio potter Martin Craddock - mesmerising!
