Entrepreneurial Bhutanese artisans from Bhutan Baskets will be doing live basket weaving and selling finished baskets made out of the kudzu vine.
Bhutan Baskets?began five years ago as a result of an astute observation made by an ESOL teacher at Druid Hills High School and the positive response of volunteers in the area. ?The teacher had noticed that some of her students were coming to school without shoes and wearing the same set of clothes every day. ?Volunteers gathered to assist the people living in a refugee apartment complex with a variety of projects, one of which was creating a garden in the complex. ?Unfortunately, the area suffered from an overgrowth of kudzu, a common affliction in Georgia. ?While reclaiming the land from this insidious vine, some had the idea to weave baskets from the plant. ?Bhutan Baskets was born.
Bhutan Baskets helps Bhutanese artisans generate income and hope for the future. ?At the demonstration this Sunday, you will be able to see the incredible skill with which these artisans weave their baskets, and you can purchase the handmade baskets for use in your own home. ?All proceeds from the sales support the artisans; for many it is their only source of income. ?Cash and check are accepted at this sale.
The discussion with Refugee Family Services leaders will be held this Sunday in Child Hall at 10:10 a.m. ? The Cathedral of St. Philip, 2744 Peachtree Road, NW, Atlanta, GA 30305.
