Llangollen Town Council say they are delighted to be partnering up with Community Focused Schools and The Little Learning Company on a project where young people from Ysgol Dinas Bran will design and create pyrography on a number of benches to be be installed around the area.
Pyrography is the art of decorating a material with burn-marks from a heated object, a technique also known as "woodburning".
The benches that have been worked on will replace a number of those which are damaged or missing from places such as Pengwern Vale, Maesmawr Road and Y Gwernant.
Michelle from the Little learning Company said: “The Little Learning Company, as part of their Shared Prosperity Funded Heritage Skills Partnership project, is pleased to be working in partnership with Llangollen Town Council and DCC's Community Focussed Schools staff to offer a bespoke learning opportunity to pupils attending Ysgol Dinas Bran.
"The opportunity to be part of a community-based project, leaving a lasting legacy around the town and pass on a new heritage skill to a younger generation is an opportunity not to be missed.”
Cheryl from Community Focused Schools said: "Community Focused Schools are thrilled to be collaborating with The Little Learning Company, the local Town Council, and students from Ysgol Dinas Bran to create something truly special for Llangollen community.
"Together, we’re combining creativity, learning, and local pride — giving young people the chance to take part in exciting new projects that celebrate the area and bring people together.
"Stay tuned for updates as our partnership grows and the ideas come to life."
Cheryl added: "We are really looking forward to seeing the designs the students come up with and to seeing them create some really unique benches that will provide welcome rest points for people while they are enjoying the countryside.
"We intend to create a Trail map of the benches once installed, so that the Community and Visitors can hunt for the various designs while out and about in the area."
