Artisans working with Nivas in Nepal have carefully crafted this felt décor by hand using wool and cotton thread. They practice intricate wet felting and needle felting techniques that have a low environmental impact. The artisans include refugees, displaced people, single mothers, and divorcees. The majority of the artisans have had limited access to a formal education and are the sole providers for their families. Nivas seeks out these women to train and hire them so that they have an opportunity to earn a living wage in a safe and supportive environment.
