Weaver Shyamjibhai

Vankar (Weaver) Shyamjibhai, our weaver says “I was eight when I first began to weave. My father had passed away. I was too young to pick up the responsibility but the art helped us to sustain as everyone in the family was weaving. While learning the art of weaving, I was scolded a million times by my uncle but when I mastered the craft it became my own. And so when my brothers were growing up, I taught them too and we began with Khadi then moved to sheep wool and now we weave Kala cotton”
