The SPES Craftspeople and Trainers were delighted to have the visit of the new Minister of Industry, Small and Medium Enterprises, Commerce & Cooperatives who showed an interest in the 19 natural fibres SPES uses for their designer crafts. SPES uses computer CAD – Computer Aided Design for most of their artistic woven as well as hand-printed fibre products – illustrated in the photos. SPES is now known also for its pottery coordinates that match their hand-weavings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
