Weavers harvest sustainably grown sisal leaves that are split and peeled to reveal the pure inner fibers of the plant. The fibers are then colored using natural dyes and dried in the sun in preparation for weaving. Using an ancient technique the dried sisal leaves are coil-sewn around bunched sweetgrass. Weavers frequently change needles threaded with different colors to create a complex and colorful pattern. A 12 inch diameter bowl will consist of several thousand stitches all done by hand. Three small villages, located at the base of the Rwenzori Mountains, western Uganda are home to these weavers. By purchasing these baskets you are helping support and train and ever-growing group of artisans. Their desire is to earn enough money to feed, shelter, clothe, and educate the people for whom they are responsible including many HIV/AIDS orphans. |
