Believing that artistic expression is inherent in everyone, he provided local children with tools and materials, encouraging them to weave tapestries without formal training, patterns, or templates. This approach allowed them to follow their instincts and freely choose subjects, colors, and designs. The center's commitment to preserving traditional crafts and fostering individual creativity has resulted in extraordinary tapestries admired and collected worldwide. See less
