Bluehanded and Jugu provide traditional pattern making and dyeing skills that date back hundreds of years and sustain local Asian cultures by working with the artisans to develop more contemporary patterns.<\/p>\n
We spoke to a crowded room who are interested what options are available to them and to explore new methods and ancient crafts to make their designs.<\/p>\n
