I wanted to share some photos from my recent trip to Kathmandu, Nepal. They are such a warm, welcoming people despite the very difficult conditions in which they live. I was able to visit 6 different mills and was struck not only by the incredible skill of the weavers, but also by the teamwork involved in working on a large rug or complicated design. I enjoyed getting to visit with the artisans and really see the process that is used to make our rugs from start to finish.

Amazing work on a complicated design.
