First Of March is an online gallery and destination dedicated to showcasing, celebrating and advocating for leading designers and Makers living and working in Wales. Opened in 2019, the gallery is founded on three beautiful Welsh words – Hiraeth, Hwyl and Cynefin –providing an inspiration and guiding ethos behind its curation of Makers and their work. Through one-off, limited editions, bespoke collections and commissions, the Makers create a narrative and modern identity for Welsh craft, respectful of its rich cultural heritage while encapsulating the passion and connection inherent within exceptional contemporary ceramics, textiles, metal and glass design.
