As more and more people in the west

are finding the beauty in handmade

people are looking to elsewhere in the world

to find inspiration.

The book follows the stories of twenty artisans.

It's a story of tradition, innovation, 

and survival, embellished with the colors 

of a profound cultural heritage.

The book spans generations and brings

together men and women to show

what they create as well as why.

You find out the artisans stories , personal histories, 

hopes, and dreams along with the 

products of their hands and looms.

You will be amazed at how their history

brings together and amazing mix of colour and texture.

This book is interesting, brilliant to read

and a real inspiration.

If you've ever wanted to weave or you already

weave and want some new inspiration

then you will love this book.

There is so much being lost as we spend less

time making things.

This book redresses the issue and makes

sure the the designs are recorded for history.

The stories of the artisans are just as much of

the story as the designs.

Their lives have molded the way they weave

and what beautiful pieces of fabric they

create for generations to come.

I feel honoured that the people have opened

up their homes and lives to show us and

share with us the beauty of what they create.
