i fyny
The aim of i fyny was to support and encourage sector resilience in Wales through the nurturing of creative talent and equipping the successful associates with the skills and opportunities to pursue viable and sustainable careers from a Welsh base.
At the end of this five-month long development programme, OM are sharing their learnings from this pilot, so that we as a sector can better identify the ways in which to support and help talent flourish.

i fyny: Mentorship
By i fyny associate Rhiannon Rees
As part of the i fyny journey we each received three sessions with a mentor. They helped us with ideas and grounding our artistic practices alongside our Wednesday sessions of developing our professional practices. Something which I really wanted to develop in is this idea of how painting can be translated through a sculptural lens. This is why I was excited to have Lisa Evans as a mentor. She is the head of sculpture at Carmarthen School of Art and has a wealth of knowledge in casting, specifically iron pouring. Through our three sessions we explored casting, projects, and plans for the future.
