Our textiles and craft tours are guided by a desire not to impact on local communities but to tip toe into the lives of those we visit and share with them our love of textiles, traditional crafts and cultures. Our unique itineraries are not your standard sight seeing tour but provide you with the opportunity to immerse yourself in local crafts and culture without having to be constantly on the move. Our tours are all about getting to know the local culture and crafts and bringing home new skills and an appreciation of traditional textiles and crafts.
SMALL GROUP TOURS
Our small group tours of only 10 ensure you experience your destination in a unique and personal way. Our tours for 2020 are all about immersion in local cultures, crafts and textiles. We base ourselves in one location (or 2 at the most) and simply unpack and get to know the locals, the neighbourhood, the local artisans, the food and what really makes a place tick.
