Mad About Miniatures

Miniatures From The Amazon Rainforest!


Listen Later

Join me as I talk to Niki Faller about her work with indigenous artists in the Amazon rainforest. She is coaching them to make miniatures of their traditional arts (basket weaving, carving, tapestries, etc.) thereby opening up a new market for these talented artisans. The journey hasn't been easy as many of the communities are isolated and building relationships and trust take time.  But, now in year three of this project, Niki has made great strides.

Niki is on Instagram @bigriverminiatures and host Becky Gannon is @madaboutminiatures.
