The jewelry maker, who dreams in silver and jade, quits his job as a taxi driver to dedicate himself to art. The mother of four, who learned the backstrap loom from her own mother, now pays for her children’s education — and hires three other women in the community. The mask maker, who carves tirelessly in his workshop, earns the dignity and respect he deserves.
World Artisan Day is about celebrating the incredible global makers who preserve tradition, support their families, and uplift their communities. It is also about the small stories of triumph, dreams fulfilled, and the noble pursuit of art. |
