Two textiles graduates at Coleg Sir Gâr’s Carmarthen School of Art have been awarded the first ever Wonderwool Wales bursary.
Kathy Lloyd and Julia Davies who studied a BA honours degree in knit, weave and mixed media, were interviewed with other students at the college’s degree show by representatives from Wonderwool, which is the premier wool and natural fibre festival in Wales.
The pair won a £1,000 to support their first year as textile artists and will exhibit their work free of charge at Wonderwool next year.
Llio James, course coordinator at Coleg Sir Gâr said: “We are delighted that the students have been recognised in this way and we are grateful to Wonderwool for extending such a great opportunity to our graduate winners.”
