Weaving has been a traditional skill of the people around Bolgatana for many generations. Fair trade practices enable weaving groups to earn good incomes in order to care for their children. When a woman can create an income, it puts food in the bowl of a child and promotes self-esteem for the women, lifting the entire village.

Weaving starts at the base and works up to the rim. Leather handles are skillfully applied by local leather workers. A medium basket takes about three days to weave.
