    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.
