Sponsor a fine mat



To purchase one of these beautiful mats, interested buyers can become part of our fine mat sponsorship scheme. Under the sponsorship scheme weavers are commissioned to weave a mat and paid weekly as the mat is woven. This scheme allows for high level quality control of the weaving process and also provides a regular income to the weavers, which facilitates developing skills in budgeting and family financial planning.

Mats are available in the traditional size of 12 x 9 aga (weaver's handspans, approximately 230 x 210cm), with different width of weave. The approximate prices and times are outlined below:
