Description

Craft Festival Wales Special 

Weaver, Llio James joins me in her studio in Cardiff to talk about her life and work and what led her to work on the loom. Deeply embedded in Welsh culture, Llio's rich colour ways and confident, minimalist patterns reflect her interest in architecture. 

Llio is exhibiting at Craft Festival Wales. She will also be part of The Capital of Craft Live at the Festival. She will be in conversation with Ann Whittall, Head of the National Wool Museum and Mary Eluned Lewis, Head of Craft Sustainability at Heritage Crafts. They will be discussing the future of double cloth weaving as it has been recently placed on the Heritage Crafts' Red List.

Llio James is also one of 8 important makers exhibiting in "Woven" at Canfas Gallery in Cardigan from September 5-October 5 curated by Suzi Park from Cambrian Wool.
