Female artisans of Bangladesh

The country’s age old traditional artisanship is being carried forward to the postmodern world thanks to these Bangladeshi women. Millenia old techniques, craft, and skill are passed down from generation to generation for centuries over. A few women are making Shitol pati, a mat made from bamboo fibre in Sirajganj. Some women are weaving carpets from wool in Rangpur, called Shatranji. Nakshi katha, fans, baskets are also produced by these women. These items have great value and recognition at home and abroad and support these women and their families in rural Bangladesh
