Fairloom of Boulder is working to help the original Fairloom organization that is based Massachusettes.
Fairloom brings the products of Brazilian bobbin-lacemaking to the United States from the community of Terra Prometida, Brazil. This not only helps build a sustainable education and economic foundation for the community of Terra Prometida, but it also brings the spirit of Terra Prometida to the United States: helping our neighbors, caring for one another, embracing life, and enjoying the company of those around us. Terra Prometida was built from the ground up by 250 families and now thrives on joyful expression through art, song, and dance.
Fairloom of Boulder is working on creating a promotional video that gives a brief history of Terra Prometida, shows the process of bobbin-lacemaking, and displays the beautiful garments and acessories the women have made. The video will be shown to businesses in the Denver/Boulder area in an effort to ecourage the buying and selling of bobbin lace products in order for the people of Terra Prometida to profit from their products and be able to sustain their families and community.
