THE WELSH GIRL

THE WELSH GIRL… a modern take on tradition

With a passion for wool and a vision to re-ignite and celebrate the heritage textiles of Wales I set up TWG in 2015. The range currently consists of practical, functional lifestyle designs for the self and the home - the signature poncho, scarves, cushions, bags and bespoke interior commissions.

Everything is designed and handmade at my studio in Hay on Wye. The patch/block works are created from a combination of traditional flannel and new flannel. Working closely with the mill, the cloth is woven in limited edition runs and colour combinations unique to TWG.

The Capital of Craft Podcast with Rosa Harradine

Welcome to Season 5 of The Capital of Craft: Wales Special.

To celebrate the first Craft Festival Wales at Cardigan Castle, it was a real pleasure to interview Rosa Harradine for The Capital of Craft podcast. 

Rosa is based in Carmarthen and makes brooms and brushes. We talk about her creative life and how she began making brooms. It's a lovely story and I hope you enjoy listening. 

You can meet Rosa and 80 more makers at Craft Festival Wales from September 6-8, 2024 at Cardigan Castle. Rosa is also one of our demonstrators and you can also find her work in the Craft Festival Town Trail, which runds from August 30 to September 20th. 

Craft Festival Wales is funded by Arts Council of Wales, Ceredigion County Council and QEST.
