Spotlighting woven art will have to wait for another day because this time, the focus is weavers:

Weaving is one of the few creative arts where the act of creating can be as interesting to look at as the finished piece.
And it is also interesting that the feet can be an integral part of the process, too. (Loved the photo of the Mali weaver with the strings tied to his toes.)
How I love that you included that last photo! I have a close friend who weaves. I always thought it was so cool to be a part of such a rich history... I only wish I had the space!
