Local schoolchildren recently became designers for the day with artist Tim Denton.

Pupils at Ysgol Deiniol, Marchwiel created patterns using stencils made by Tim of details on buildings in Wrexham town centre.

Children had the chance to identify where in Wrexham the buildings are before producing their own imaginative take on the designs.

The workshop resulted in patterns which could be incorporated into the furniture Tim will be making with local groups for the Food Hall at Tŷ Pawb when it opens next year.

In September 2017 Wrexham.com reported that Tim will work alongside the community to create 90% of the furniture to be used in the new facility ahead of its opening next spring.

Tim will be running further workshops with Coleg Cambria, Caia Park Partnership and UnDegUn.
