Christine Homer & Matthew T. from Ghana, Africa
Christine arranged for Matthew to give a workshop in Bristol for local
weavers. In Ghana, he employees 8 weavers who (since they weave outdoors)
only work in the dry season.
The weavers sit at their looms under a shed to protect them from the sun,
but the long warps extend out 20 feet unprotected. |
