Handmade Portraits: Alabama Chanin




Alabama Chanin's fashion and textile manipulation has been blogged about here on several occasions, news of their fantastic work has travelled far!
Here is a video from the etsy blog about the companies evolution and philosophy.
It is an inspiration, especially now when we hope that our young graduates will be able to go forward from our courses and achieve great things for themselves and the local community.
Like in Alabama, a change is needed here, so that people can fulfill their true potential and their dreams and make a better life for themselves.
