Jane Stafford in Sabahar's weaving shed - Adis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Well known weaving instructor, Jane Stafford has just returned from a trip to visit Sabahar in Ethiopia.

Jane and Sabahar first met at the 2011 Maiwa masterclass in Bengal. So, like a textile matchmaker, Maiwa is quite proud that the two have kept in touch and maintained a relationship.

Jane has given a full description of her Ethiopian visit in her newsletter and now she is re-posting the story on her website.
