Handicrafts

BOSFAM’s handicrafts projects began in the collective centers for internally-displaced people during the war in BiH.  These projects began as a form of occupational therapy, and today provide economic support to BOSFAM’s members.  The women weave beautiful carperts, knit fashionable clothes, and create traditional handicrafts.  All BOSFAM’s products are hand-made.  When you buy our products, you support war-affected women who in turn can then provide for their children and make positive contributions to our community.

Carpets
Traditional, hand-made carpets are a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina.  They are representative of Bosnian traditions, beauty, and hard work. The carpets are made on traditional wooden looms and are 100% wool on a cotton warp.  They appear the same on both sides.  The dyes used for the yarn are fade-resistant. If you are in Tuzla, we welcome you to visit us. At our center in Tuzla, you can see how traditional Bosnian carpets are made.  You may also visit our gallery with its many handicrafts.
