Sponsored by the OECS/USAID – June, 2022
The objective of the project was to provide an introduction to woodworking skills that would be instrumental in the formulation of designs, selection, and preparation of appropriate souvenir woodcraft products, and an appreciation of the use of the scroll saw and associated tools for the creation of market ready quality craft items with emphasis on the incorporation of Kalinago design concepts where possible.
A total of twelve (12) participants were selected for the program from the 8 hamlets of the territory i.e Bataka, Crayfish River, Salybia, St.Cyr, Gaulette River, Mahaut River, Sineku, Concord. Subsequent to graduation, it was envisioned that the craftsmen / women would collaborate to form a multi-purpose cooperative utilizing their inherent and cultivated skills for individual and collective benefits.
