Empowering marginalised communities with meaningful opportunities
At Island Looms, we embrace innovation by fostering workshops in quaint handloom villages nestled in the serene outskirts of rural Sri Lankan provinces, spanning the central and eastern regions. This decentralised approach allows our artisans to work in settings that inspire them, fostering a deep connection to tradition and craft. Join us in exploring the vibrant world of handloom and batik, where every piece tells a story of heritage and artistry.
Ethically crafted and handmade with care
The loom has been a part of Sri Lankan culture since its origin. For a variety of causes, the sector is currently in decline. These range from a dearth of qualified workers to high market pricing that are out of step with inflation and an absence of necessary infrastructure and technology.
