Karen is just home from wandering the craft filled medina of Tunis and consulting to 10 Tunisian artisan enterprises on their export strategies. What a fascinating country! A leader in the Arab world in creating opportunities for women, education and building democracy. And, most importantly for artisan enthusiasts, a rich culture of crafts! Local designers blend contemporary aesthetic with traditional production in textiles, natural fibers, ceramics, olive wood and copper. A Tunisian Pavilion will return to Artisan Resource in August. Come see!
