Rachel Thomas, who is studying Textiles/Multi-discipline will be showing work featuring a collage of weaves, knits and waste materials on painted canvas and textiles student Nancy Simmons, will be showing naturally dyed and printed knits, derived from the Pembrokeshire coast and the Preseli mountains.
