Maker Story
Hi, I’m Cai Kuihua, one of the artisans who helped to make the jute twine. I am 51 years old and this is my 7th year working here. When I’m free, I like cooking for my family, and going to the park to walk. I also like listening to traditional Chinese opera.
This work makes me very happy and provides income for my family, I live in Jinhua, I hope you will like jute twine.
