Woven Together Design Contest
Calling all Filipino creatives!
Like you and everyone in the world, we are going through challenges and struggles. But in the midst of this pandemic, we have continued to imagine and create together with talented Filipino artisans. They are our partners in growth and the inspiration behind our social enterprise.
We’re sure you have many ideas in your head and you would like to see them come to life. And that’s what we’re here for! In fact, that is what #WovenTogether is all about - connecting Filipino artisans with artists around the world to produce new and uplifting creations.
Because we’ve come to discover that, like the dried blades of grass used for a banig mat, ideas grow stronger when they are woven together.
We hope you can craft with us!
