Kaisu from Finland

Posted By : irankalut/ 663 2

It was interesting to receive an experienced lady from Finland who was the first tourist to ask for a visit to Ravar area before visiting Kaluts. She had a professional camera with her and took so many pictures. She was very much interested in Persian carpets and this time in Kerman, she wanted to visit the home workshops where the locals were busy weaving.

In a workshop with 3 looms hanging, 7 ladies were at work. It was sad to see their harsh fingers, sitting on a piece of wood and wearing a mask. What they were producing is really stunning (two 4*6m carpets with very detailed small flowers). But what makes any visitor sad is that the income of such an artistic hard job goes into the pockets of the dealers who are between producer and customer. We hope Kaisu’s photos finally helps the poor ladies who produce carpets.

In Kaluts area, every thing photogenic and Kaisu did not want to skip anything. in spite of older age, she walked like a very young lady and never stopped climbing or trekking in the deep sand!! Bravo….
