Looking forward to Christmas and thought it a good time to look back at the past year as Cauldrons and Furnaces has taken shape. Two projects, the creation of banners, run by Gwynedd County Council, and the making of a film, run by Galeri in Caernarfon, which were both inspired by the castle, are now complete.
