Mr Jamal(left) comes from a long line of weavers and can always remember fond memories of watching his grandfather teaching his father to weave. In those days he would sometimes sit with his father and grandfather and watch them lovingly. He also used to watch his mother help with weaving by spinning spindles of cotton into yarns for weaving. Back then, women were not encouraged to weave. Nowadays, Jamal loves hearing his father's story of how their forefathers were weavers and how some of the art of weaving precious delicate fabric is slowly regaining popularity. Jamal has since taught his wife Amina(right) how to weave and now they are happily weaving together beautiful special master pieces.
