@WorldCrafts Artisan- Lao Looms- Laos- For centuries, the Lu people of northern Laos have been weaving cotton and silk by hand. Every woman learns this skill at an early age. Lu villages even grow cotton and raise silkworms to produce the necessary thread. In the past, the Lu made their own skirts and bedding for everyday use. Today they use their traditional weaving skills to produce other items that can supply much-needed and sustained income for their families. #WCartisans #fairtrade

@WorldCrafts Artisan-Himilayan Tapestry-India-Within each stitch of the Himalayan Tapestry artisans’ handiwork is a story of illiteracy, abuse within marriage, and culturally conditioned gender discrimination. These women come with little education but soon learn to quilt, tailor, read, and manage money. They receive money from using their new talents, but more importantly they receive crisis counseling, which brings financial and emotional comfort to their troubled lives. #WCartisans #fairtrade
