Committed to promoting craftsmanship and sustainability, our partnership with Africa Collect Textile exemplifies these values. Through this collaboration, we are proud to host hand looming activity in our space, where one skilled artisan creates an array of wonderful items.
Hand looming: A Tradition of Craftsmanship
Hand looming is one of the many crafts we cherish under our roof. It’s a process that requires skill, patience, and a deep understanding of textiles. The artisan from Africa Collect Textile brings this traditional craft to life, weaving beautiful mats, carpets, aprons, and toys. Each item is a testament to the artistry and dedication involved in hand looming, transforming raw materials into functional and decorative pieces.
A Circle of Giving
An integral part of our partnership is the clothing and footwear donation initiative. We have placed a bin in our space where visitors can donate their old clothes and footwear. These donations serve a dual purpose: some items are distributed to the less privileged in our society, while others are given new life through hand looming. This process of transformation not only reduces waste but also creates new, unique items from what was once discarded.
A Shared Vision for Sustainability
At Opportunity Factory, we highly value this partnership with Africa Collect Textile. It aligns perfectly with our mission to foster sustainability and support local artisans. By incorporating hand looming into our array of crafts, we are able to showcase the beauty of this traditional art form while also contributing to a more sustainable future.
