  Traditional craft + digital reach = gold. These stories deserve platforms, not just preservation.

  I wish the producers of this video would have provided a link to the Shea Butter sales contact that these ladies make, so we can start to send them orders again.

  It would be great if you could provide the contact information of creators in the description so that the viewers can buy their products directly. This will be of tremendous  support for creators.

  I would love to see you include links where we might buy from these craftspeople!  Their work is beautiful and it would be great to know how to support them.

  I would prefer to buy the Shea butter these ladies make than a commercially produced product any day, if I could afford it. Although the camel skin lamps wouldn’t go with my decor, I think they are not only very beautiful but a marvellous use of available materials. Well done to all the artisans. I so appreciate your work and wish I was wealthy enough to translate my appreciation into hard cash for you.

  As someone from india, where my mother also prefers traditional rock grinder(Sil Batta) which is very similar to a Metata, I agree that it gives a totally different flavour entirely. It always feel lacking in a blender.

  Like Mexican Metate (the grinding Stone), the same is also used traditionally in eastern India and Bangladesh for grinding spices. It has a flat rectangular shaped stone block as the platform and a round stone to roll on it (just like rolling-pin). My Grandma, Mother and even my wife used it until a few years back. Now a days, it is not so popular in cities but still used in villages.

  Harakawa Yasuhiro the bonsai scissor maker really grabbed my heart!  He is so proud of what he does... I hope one of his sons decides to learn... He worries so much about the time he has left and the orders he has to make.... all of these people are amazing... someone here wrote that they need to put a site where people can order these products... I really wish they would...

  These people have more understanding of the importance of cultural preservation and respect for earth than anyone i know, even tho they didnt have traditional education. Respect.

  OMG the Camel skin laps are just stunning! The craft of it. The paint work. Some of the most beautiful thing I've seen.
