Sesiwn 1: Session 1 12.11.20

Yn ystod sesiwn 1// During session 1:

- mi oedd hi'n wych clywed am eich rhesymau i ddod yn rhan o Utopias Bach ac am rai o'r gwrthrychau bach o obaith - roedd popeth o domatos i nodwyddau, o fadarch i angylion bach //it was great to hear about some of the little objects of hope - everything from tomatos to needles, to mushrooms and angels.

- Cawsom gyfle hefyd i ddechrau meddwl am ein placard bach o obaith (dewch a'ch un chi efo chi i'r sesiwn nos Iau 19.11.20!) a gwych oedd clywed syniad Niki am dasg i gyfleu'n emosiynau, dylien ni'n sicr drio ychwanegu hyn i'r prosiect hefyd//We also had an opportunity to start thinking about out little placard of hope (bring yours on Thursday 19.11.20!) and Niki's idea of a task to convey our emotions is so powerful too and one we should try and achieve during the project.

- Roedd Tegwen yn son hefyd bod ganddi rwbel yn yr ardd fyddai o fudd i'r prosiect sy'n wych - rhannu syniadau, rhannu rwbel, cydweithio ac ysbrydoli ein gilydd ydi'r bwriad yma//Tegwen mentioned too that she has some debris in the garden that we could use for the project - sharing ideas, sharing debris, working together and inspiring each other are the reasons behind these sessions!

Seswin 4: 3.12.20. gyfleu'n emosiynau//conveying emotions

Building on her work as a psychotherapist, and the problems caused by people feeling their emotions are ‘bad’ or unable to be expressed, Niki suggested we try in some way to find a way to convey some of the difficult things we are feeling…. This links to a comment by Seran on the whatsapp group (23.11.20):

“Dwi ‘di mynd ar ôl y syniad bod hi’n anodd creu iwtopia cymdeithasol heb yn gyntaf greu iwtopia mewnol yn dy feddwl. Mae hyn yn deillio o beth ddywedodd Niki ar ddiwedd y cyfarfod gyntaf ynglyn ac ymateb i emosiynau anodd”

Sesiwn 5: 10.12.20. Fortune cookies

Mi wnaethon ni greu fortune cookies papur efo neges o ddymuniad ar gyfer 2021! Wedyn mi gaethon ni amser i drafod tipyn bach o syniadau ar gyfer flwyddyn nesa' gyda syniadau gan Lindsey ynglyn a gwneud taith mewn time machine i ddychmygu byd gwell yn y dyfodol! Mi wnawn ni gyfarfod i drafod ymhellach ym mis Ionawr gobeithio.
We made paper fortune cookies with some wishes for 2021! Some of them better than others - ahem (mine was crap!) Then we had time to discuss ideas for next year with Lindsey mentioning the possibility of a time machine journey to imagine a better world for the future! We can discuss this again in January hopefully, if we meet up then.

Be’ nesa? What’s next?

Mi fydd hi'n gret gweld popeth yn yr arddangosfa yn Siop Mela ym mis Ionawr - dyddiad i gadarnhau a daliwch ati i greu tan hynny os liciwch chi - placardiau bach o obaith, gerddi iwtopaidd, cerfluniau'n greu emosiwn, mwy o fortune cookies, llyfrau sgets neu beth bynnag liciwch chi! Er does dim pwysau ar neb wrth gwrs!
It will be great to see everything in the exhibition at Siop Mela in January - date to be confirmed and keep at it with your creating until then if you like - little placards of hope, utopian gardens, little sculptures of emotion, more fortune cookies, sketchbooks or whatever else! And as always, no pressure either!

Adborth/feedback

Mi fasai hi'n wych os allwch chi ateb y 3 cwestiwn isod ar gyfer fy ngwaith papur i efo'r grant! Dim rhaid wrth gwrs! It would be great if you could answer the 3 questions below for my paper work re: grant! You don't have to of course! Llinos (gwefus.cymru@gmail.com)
