Description
-
Gwasg Gregynog (The Gregynog Press) Newtown, Powys, reprinted 1981 [S.L.] III [Gregynog Press] (P.C.) Weather is fundamentally tied to local knowledge and woven into local tradition. Weather signs gave people ways to read their county’s natural geography such as: ‘If the mist ascends out of the valleys to the hill-tops it is a sign of rain’. These sayings were collected by the prominent collector of Welsh folklore Reverend Elias Owen and later reprinted by the Gregynog Press (Gwasg Gregynog) in Tregynon, Wales. The Press was founded by the sisters Gwendoline and Margaret Davies to produce artistic prints using traditional skills to celebrate Welsh culture.
