July 6, 2017 - A visit to Artisans Angkor. Siem Reap Cambodia.
"Vocational training
Artisans Angkor is a Cambodian company that was created at the end of 1990’s to help young rural people find work near their home village. It is the offshoot of an educational project aiming at providing professional skills to communities with limited educational opportunities.
Artisans Angkor has maintained its commitment to education by developing its own training program in the craft sector. Our training is designed to give professional skills to young people with limited education. The aim is to let them master a job after a 6 to 9 months training period.
Fair Development of Khmer Arts & Crafts
Since its creation, Artisans Angkor has strived to offer good working conditions and social advantages to its employees.
It has 48 workshops operating in 12 sites located in Siem Reap province and it provides employment to over 1100 people, including about 800 artisans.
Reviving Cambodian Craftsmanship
Over the years, Artisans Angkor has become a real showcase of Khmer handicrafts for its silk fabrics, stone and wood carving, lacquerware, gilding, ceramics, silver plating, silk painting, and jewelry.
The company revitalizes traditional Cambodian Arts & Crafts, and it offers a wide collection of handmade clothing and home furnishing fitted to contemporary lifestyles.
Offering fair working conditions
Artisans Angkor has pioneered a new social policy in Cambodia, guaranteeing a fair income as well as social and medical welfare to all its employees. The artisans themselves formed an association that holds a 20-percent share in the company.
The company’s excess cash flows are reinvested in the opening of workshops in rural villages, new apprenticeships, lifelong training, and healthcare. A workshop opening means more employment in disadvantaged rural communities and therefore an improvement of social conditions and poverty alleviation".

The mission of the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center is to promote and teach the craft of handweaving in a supportive and creative community. The Center encourages people with low or no vision and those 55 and older to develop their skills and interest in weaving original and beautiful handwoven items... - weavingcenter.org/
My dad is in his second year as a Weaving Artisan. He would insist he's still a beginner, but he is turning out some beautiful work.
I stopped by the Center last week and took a few photos of work in progress. Then yesterday I was able to catch some shots of finished work, which was beautifully on display for the open house sale this weekend. Info, hours and location of the sale are at weavingcenter.org/sales.html.
Some photos taken with my Canon PowerShot SX50, others with my Samsung Galaxy S4. I was pleasantly surprised at the Samsung results. Still, after post-processing with Lightroom I felt something was still missing. So I then additionally processed them in Picasa. To most shots I added "Glow" and "I'm Feeling Lucky."
At its 35th edition, the expo is acknowledged as the world´s most important in the artisan gelato sector, a primary European showcase for artisan Italian confectionery and is also strengthening its position in the artisan bakery field.
On show, all the very latest in raw materials, basic products, plant, machinery, furnishing and fittings for the artisan gelato and bakery trades.
Thematic sections, international contests and championships, demos, courses and updating seminars and expos all contribute to making it a unique spectacular event

Harpoon fishery is the traditional selective way of catching swordfish in the Mediterranean Sea.
Today only 10 traditional boats (feluche) can still afford to operate in the Strait of Messina (Sicily, Italy).
Feluche. Artisanal fishermen as watchmen for the Mediterranean swordfish.
Small-scale fishermen are the watchmen of the sea, the first to perceive any changes and the first to be affected by these changes. This is what the new Oceana video “Feluche: artisanal fishermen as watchmen for the Mediterranean swordfish” shows. In the video, the international marine conservation organization gathers witnesses from among traditional harpoon fishermen, to share their perception of the status of the Mediterranean swordfish.
