Bookbinding
Master bookbinder
Hand-bound books, and one of the last practitioners in Tunis.
Impact
The crafts we use are the crafts we keep alive
Bookbinding, basket weaving, pottery, and calligraphy are practiced today by a shrinking number of people in Tunisia. Every session we run is paid work for one of them, the actual transaction your booking is, not a donation on the side.
How it works
Where your money actually goes
No. 1
Paid directly, per session
The artisan’s fee is fixed into the price before we take any margin. It is not a tip or a bonus, it is their primary reason for taking the booking.
No. 2
Practiced, not displayed
Teaching a technique is one of the few ways a craft with shrinking demand stays exercised and passed on, rather than archived behind museum glass.
No. 3
Documented for you
For company bookings we record which artisan you worked with and what the session produced: real material for a CSR report, not a vague claim.
The people, not just the craft
The artisans behind every session
These are the artisans your booking supports.
Ceramics
Skilled Ceramicist
Hand-shaped pottery in a working atelier in Tunis.
Calligraphy
Accomplished Calligrapher
The proportion and rhythm of classical Arabic script.
Weaving
Expert Weaver
Traditional carpet weaving, the craft our story began with.
For your CSR report
A team-building that also counts as impact spend
CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility, is the social and community impact a company is expected to show and report. If yours already tracks that spend, a Crafted Visions engagement fits the line cleanly: named local artisans paid directly, a documented craft kept in practice, and a team outcome you were budgeting for anyway.
After the event we prepare a short summary for your internal reporting, so the impact is on record, not just felt in the room.
