Weaving Heritage in Shannan Tibet | Fayetteville Arkansas News

In Shannan, Tibet, a cooperative founded in 2008 by artisan Pasang is reviving a centuries-old wool weaving tradition—creating rare, delicate fabrics like Zeter and Pulu. Once known as tribute to the Ming Dynasty court, this craft is now part of China’s intangible cultural heritage, with Pasang dedicated to teaching it to youth.
