New Book from TAMMACHAT Founders
Textile fair traders publish their 3rd book
TAMMACHAT Natural Textiles’ co-founders Ellen Agger and Alleson Kase spent two weeks with the Pattanarak Foundation’s Organic Cotton Project along the Mekong River in Thailand. Their latest book, “Weaving Sustainable Communities: Organic Cotton Along the Mekong,” chronicles how this project helps sustain rural communities and protect the environment. It’s a window into the traditions, now over a century old, of organic cotton production in this area and it introduces some of the women who continue to practice these traditions and learn new ways to do so sustainably.
For a free look inside the book — and to order your own copy — visit TAMMACHAT’s online bookstore at www.blurb.com/user/store/ellenagger. Take a look at their other 2 books too, “Panmai” and “Prae Pan Group,” that take you on a visit to Thailand’s 2 oldest women’s weaving co-operatives.
