Handmade felted wool bowl medium size. Approximately 20cm diameter.
Made by Ma’an Lil-Hayat who is a social enterprise organisation that provides daily activities, craft production and meals for 19 people with intellectual disabilities from refugee camps and villages of the Bethlehem area. Through community life and work, Ma’an Lil-Hayat seeks to foster the development of self-esteem and creativity, the ability to make choices, and the active participation in a learning environment. Ma’an Lil-Hayat is the first and only project in Palestine that produces felt crafts from natural sheep wool. They purchase wool from local shepherds in Bethlehem, and undertake the entire process of wool-making from cleaning the wool, carding, dyeing, felting, and drying.
