It's typically a man's trade there. I think the women are not thought of as intelligent enough to do it. But that is changing. Women are now being accepted into the trade.

Anyone know how textiles can be bought staight from the 'man'? Would love to know so I could encourage it. Me, I make my own weaving, looms, spindles etc. I don't buy handcrafted items. I make them. Learning to, any way. But I would love to encourage those who do use their money in buying made items to buy them from the artist.
