This book tells the tale of weavers from Sa’dan, Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Published in 2014, as an ode to the weavers of Sa’dan. Most books tend to showcase products, but not the makers. Therefore, via this book, we have shared the life stories of eleven weavers spanning three generations.

The weavers were part of the six groups which were trained by the TORAJAMELO team from 2008 – 2014. Some highlights of the book include the stories of Ne’ Butung, a 100-year-old Master weaver talking about “Mangkabi’ or the hand-braiding technique. Alongside Yenny, her grand-daughter and also Feby, the youngest member of the weaving community, who decided to take up weaving in order to pay for her university fees.

This book was written for people who are interested in traditional crafts, as well as connoisseurs, collectors and researchers, of art. It is written in Bahasa Indonesia.
