Featuring some of the slate creations of Aled Jenkins
Aled uses welsh roofing slate from disused buildings. He has designed a variety of crafted pieces including clocks, vases and pendants.
The lengthy process of shaping, sanding and polishing produces a tactile and beautifully smooth finish.
The different colours are due to the variety of minerals present when the slate was formed.
