Tintsaba

Different groups have different skills, from the basic skills of cleaning sisal, to craft skills of plaiting, to making little baskets, woven baskets, or components in different shapes that can be transformed into Christmas ornaments, kiddies ranges, mobiles, contemporary jewellery, tableware, other gifts.
Tintsaba provides the opportunity and the training for producers –usually semi-literate basketmakers-to move into finer, gallery/masterweaver products such as technically perfect highly refined woven baskets and fine components for jewellery, some of which are combined with silver in our workshop. These highly skilled artisans become jewellers and silversmiths, and also skills trainers, guaranteing a virtuous cycle of continuous training and development for all the producers
