Story Behind the Art:
Walking into dZi's Kathmandu production center's reception, you are immediately greeted by a cheerful 'Namaste!' ('I Salute the God Within You') with hands pressed together in a prayerful expression. Proceeding into any of the production halls you'll be greeted by a complete chorus of the same as dozens of ladies press felt into a variety of shapes, while others stitch, needle and applique to finish hundreds of different styles of decorative items for export. Because the felting and stitching process is all done by hand with natural materials that can be sustainably harvested, hand felted products have a relatively soft impact on the environment. Commercial exports of felted products from Nepal have grown exponentially since around 2000, benefitting thousands of mostly women workers, production managers and family businesses who help support their families and educate their children with their earnings.
