This article will elaborate on the case of Elisabeth De Saedeleer who by invitation of the Davies sisters of Aberystwyth made Wales her home during the Great War. Elisabeth worked in the Arts & Crafts center in Aberystwyth untill 1922, commissioned to do so by the Davies sisters, who were keen on injecting Aberystwyth’s cultural life with the expertise of refugee-artists. Elisabeth trained in tapestry weaving in the William Morris tradition, and when back in Belgium her tapestry firm will grow out to be an important one in the Interwar period. The exile in Wales certainly influenced the artists’ oeuvre and her further development and allows one to study the interaction of the artist with the political-cultural life in Wales, and also how the Welsh art-life in its turn gave impulses. When back in Belgium Elisabeth will grow out to be a sought-after artist, who cooperated with modernist designers en architects for over more than a decade. She was invited to teach at La Cambre by founding director Henry Vande Velde in 1925. This aspect of Belgian interior design has never been researched before. Both Welsh and Belgian archives, sources and designs are now being researched and analyzed in order to portray this case.
