Pontypridd 2024
Laura Thomas's work celebrates the beauty of yarn in its purest form; its essence and its innate character is brought to the fore and informs how it is to be used to create the resulting handwoven work. In her practice, Laura sees an ideal opportunity to explore extremely labour-intensive hand manipulation techniques of knotting and wrapping as a perfect method to celebrate the extraordinary nature of the yarn itself.
