Featured Artist

Sihad

Irfan’s sisters have been basket weaving as long as they can remember. They have always made them to use around the house – as water jug lids, vegetable storage, or to keep chapatis warm at the table. They are thrilled to sell their baskets in our shop as it provides extra income to send their children to school and to be a bit more financially independent.
