artisan info

lovingly hand crafted by ruth in uganda.  ruth is a one little world artisan partner but also a mama to three boys, which she provides for as a single parent. she regularly visits the local bars and shops in town to gather and upcycle bottlecaps to make these unique hot mats. using remnants of kitenge cloth, ruth bundles the cloth around the bottlecap and stitches the kitenge in place. she then sews each kitenge bottlecap together to create her finished product.
