Across the bustling towns of 19th century Ethiopia, guilds of master weavers, embroiderers and tailors worked under the patronage of religious and political elites to create garments that spoke of rank and power, whereas rural weavers produced cloth for daily use and ritual needs. Spindling was deemed virtuous, and women from across the social spectrum learned to spin. Different ethnic groups across the country developed their own distinctive weaving styles - the Dorze people of the south are renowned for their intricate cotton weaving, whilst the Tigray region in the north has long been celebrated for its fine white cotton shawls with colourful borders. These patterns, built through meticulous thread manipulation, connect contemporary makers to generations of Ethiopian weavers who have transformed simple fibres into objects of beauty and utility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Normal tm5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm6\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm7\"\u003eThe Maker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm6\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSpinners, dyers and weavers work hand-in-hand at Sabahar, a fair trade workshop established in Addis Ababa over 20 years ago.
