Working closely with master artisans, the project explored new product opportunities while building local capacity. Master artisans were trained to mentor groups of 30 women artisans over a four-month period, creating a sustainable knowledge-sharing model.
Together, we developed a collection of jewellery, christmas hangings, and torans that combined traditional golden grass craftsmanship with contemporary design.
