What you will actually learn

The technique, in his own words.

  • How four generations of one family chose what to forget and what to keep
  • The single decision that separates a 6-month carpet from a 6-year one
  • Reading a finished carpet for the master who tied it

What you will take home

Something held by the hands, not just the inbox.

  • A signed handwritten note answering the question you brought
  • A photograph of you and the master at the loom
