Culture, Heritage and Local Products

Powys is a rich source of Welsh history and heritage and there is a compelling need to preserve whilst improving access and interpretation. This project was set up to achieve this through innovative approaches, community engagement and using modern techniques alongside traditional craft. Glasu also aims to develop new products using local materials and skills, reflecting the cultural heritage of the county. A major aim of the project is to access markets and advertise our ingenuity.

The project will support:-

• Activities that provide visitors and local communities with the opportunity to learn about local cultural heritage – e.g. telling the local story; developing a trail to support a network of local buildings or sites of interest

• Traditional buildings and landscapes – promoting the preservation and maintenance of the local built & natural environment

• Access to local products, cultural heritage –this could be support for a new Powys Guild of Crafts or researching and developing new products and services within the cultural heritage, arts and crafts sector
