Skills in Abundance

Last week I missed a trip to Preston (with Swati and Murji) to meet two skilled artisans who are participating in The Cotton Exchange. 

This image (which I snaffled from ReSIde's Facebook page) shows Murji and Shamji Vishram with Shamji's award winning work! An amazingly fine and intricate woven piece. Both men are from Bhujodi in Kutch, where I'll be in a fortnight's time....;)
