Our Fair Trade HANDS OF THE WORLD supporters will be pleased to hear that our free Fair Trade Artisans’ Market will be hosting suppliers from over 21 countries in 2013. Four days, 9 to 5pm, from Friday 1 November at 277 Elizabeth Street Brisbane CBD in the Francis Rush Centre are yours to enjoy with friends. From Ecuador to Laos, from Kenya to Thailand, our global network offers easy opportunities for Brisbane people to admire the ingenuity and skills of women and men in hand making mediums like metalwork, textiles, woven jute, glass, recycled paper, ceramics, jewellery, even designer dresses. The astute and the compassionate will also buy, knowing that in health, education and housing, your even small contribution can mean much to our gifted hard working contacts. An evening preview at 6pm on Thursday 31 October is for the favoured who read this. (Note for Diary.) Each day at noon, an interviewer with a roving mike in the hall will briefly discuss projects, designs, techniques, traditions, rituals and answer questions. Fair Trade tea and coffee and a snack will be available for sale. Meanwhile, we will occasionally post a little more of our fascinating stories until the Hands of the World Opening. We will be most grateful if you can pass the word along your network. Hundreds are expected with some people organising trips from regional centres in response to COSSAG green flyers. Thank you!
