Season 6 of The Capital of Craft, Welsh Special.

To celebrate the return of Craft Festival Wales, I chat with Head of the National Wool Museum, Ann Whittall. 

We spoke about the historic importance of wool to West Wales and new projects at the Musuem.  Ann is spearheading training new apprentices who are learning to work with the looms at the impressive Weave Shed in Drefach Felindre. We also discussed Musuem's work in the decolonisation of the Collection and working with visual artist, Lucille Junkere. 

The National Museum is supporting Craft Festival Wales and will be running free workshops for children throughout the weekend.

You can meet Ann at Craft Festival Wales at Cardigan Castle from September 5-7, 2025
