Second year BA textiles students at Coleg Sir Gâr’s Carmarthen School of Art are presenting their work at Wonderwool Wales, where they will give an insight into their creative studies.

Their showcase includes a live demonstration of machine knitting as well as weaving on a table loom.

There will also be a collaborative weave project where the public are invited to weave on their community loom.

Students will be there all weekend to answer any questions about the textiles degree course at Carmarthen School of Art.
