I wish they would post the websites of these craftsmen & businesses they feature. Would love to check them out!
yes! I'm trying right now to find how to order a wool blanket from Nataylya and Yaroslav.
Kinda messed up that they don't provide links to these businesses but talk about how they're dying 😑
@@missi7196 yes that what i am thinking would it be viable to sell these product in western europe for exemple and give theese people a fair share of the money, but taxes + shipement can be expensive for low quantities in lost places but i still think people would be happy to pay more for this kind of product but how much ? Or maybe internet is the solution a website for all those craft all over the world but this a complex to people does not have internet don't know how to use computers ect ect shipement .
@@sizzorchik 555
Maybe some don't have stores setup online? If they don't, they really should. It could save their business.
I love how they don't make a secret out of their craftsmanship, because they exactly know how hard it is to master. Nowadays companies use generic CNC machines and processes and still claim they have a secret for the quality of their products that they're not able to share. I also love the fact that this applies to all countries in this documentary, as if they share a common spirit or codex in craftsmanship. They're open and happy to have reporters as a guest, and that really warms my heart. Even though they don't make much money, they love their culture and work and give that a higher value than people in the western world.
Well spoken.
Thats the issue with a lot of western industry they want the easy way instead of being able to percect their craft once they do something that can make money they have to hide it so noone can do what they do and there for profit, its lame because it shows they do the bare minimum to get what they want then live off of that. Now i dont mean like people taking peoples complete ideas but there is a line between inspiration and providing a good product from just ripping someone off.
Many are following and this channel supports invading that destroyed their ancient art and philosophies.
That really is a sign of a master craftsman. They know skill comes with dedication and that alone is a barrier to most with bad intentions. Whereas those who take up the skill will want to add to the community somehow and even in competition be beneficial to each other.
the creation of the machine, the ratios, there are many things that are actual secrets nowadays, but yeah... Before it used to be our labour the secret.
As a craftsman myself,,I can really appreciate the discipline that every craftsman in this documentary has,, they're true artist !!
It is other artisans that really can appreciate the hard work that goes into handmade items! As a jewelry maker who sells at a lot of craft fairs, I always buy pieces from other artisans/craftsmen because it not only supports small business people as well as gives me unique items for my home that I don't have the talents to make myself. It's truly sad that non-makers don't/can't appreciate the heart, soul, love and long hours of work that goes into making these items for little to no financial reward. This was a great documentary to watch and get exposure to makers all over the globe.
Why not post links for online sales of these magnificent handcrafted items, for the many who would choose to support such wonderful artisans.
Thanks for your kind words. I'm the Ajrak maker from Bhitshah Pakistan
Yes I agree! I would like to place orders for those that have online shops!
@@aymeeb yes, what will you like to order?
Hi very interested in Ajraks is there a link to the online shop?

For the glass foundry.
With the amount of heat they make in the foundry. They could pipe it out to the neighbourhood to provide hot water or heating 24 hours a day and collect a fee. Especially good for communal buildings. The local municipalities, business should be contacted. The heat from the furnace can also be diverted into electricity storage sand batteries. They could be producing electricity and selling it as carbon friendly because they’re gaining another use for the heat and they’re offsetting the heat when it’s not used.
I was thinking the same.. a lot of wasted energy.

Didn't even cross my mind, I gota think more like you
@@SxTxferlife yeuh, if the World Economic Forum paid me, I would teach them how to better do many of their projects.
I remember buying a little glass horse at a holiday church fair when I was little. It cost about a quarter at a special booth only children could shop from. I remember my mother being surprised at the quality upon opening and saying, this is very nice! She displayed it in the living room for years. Now I can see it was one of these little horses!
I do not know why,but I have loved bells all my life. At one time all the churches in town would ring their bells around lunch time during the week. It became just a natural thing to hear them. I live in the Deep South and at a time , way, way before my time, large bells were everywhere on large farms and my grandparents still had theirs when I was growing up. I won’t go in to details as to why and what these bells were. Anyway, I have a sorted collection of all kinds of bells everywhere in and outside my house and barn. What a wonderful thing that these true Italian artisans are keeping the tradition alive.

Why won’t you go into detail about the reason?
Was it for the slaves?
@@aig9672 deep south , sundown town
@@aig9672 yes!! AND dinner.
Though living in the US, & not in an area that had working / used Bells, when I have gone to weddings at Catholic Churches w/ Bell towers, it just brings a joy to the soul. It is hard to explain, but really wish that Bells would make a come back.
Even a single Bell (though 3 different notes of bells is the best). It is strange since I don’t have any childhood attachment, but hearing them feels like home (& I’ve heard this from many others)
Besides visiting w/ my Spanish exchange daughter, my 2nd greatest excitement when I finally get to Europe is hearing all the bells 😎
Amazing workmanship in the village I live in North Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 The church had 6 bells 🔔 made in memory of the 6 men that died in world war 1 that lived in the village and who came home in a box. It's a wonderful memory of those 6 men that gave their lives in the war at the time. And each year their names are read out 11th Nov and a 3 min silence is held then at the end the 6 bells are rung in the memory.
Such a beautiful tradition! I wish we in the US had the tradition of the UK's minutes of silence commemorating those who gave their lives in the World Wars. Our youth need to learn that particular humility and gratitude, too!
@@dixietenbroeck8717 We do have that. They have a day for fallen veterans and so do we. It’s called Veteran’s Day.
I loved each and every minute of this documentary. I weep for the traditions and cultures when they are so close to "dying out".
I pray that these Craftsmen and Craftswomen children's children continue the cultural bloodline of crafting! I have already looked into many of these products and plan on purchasing them to not just help but to enjoy the heritage they work so hard to preserve!

Sometimes change is good. If it wasnt for industrialization, food prices for example would be many times higher than now.
@@kevjtnbtmglr We also wouldn't all be alive today.
YES, please share your findings - I hope this is possible and permitted.
They deserve our patronage! I would so enjoy them in my home and with my Loved Ones!
Best to them all! Marirose
I mean let’s not act like most of us would be turned off buying it when you find out it’s made of camel dung
I was particularly interested in the creation of the Onggi pots. I learned to craft pottery and clay sculptures in the mid years of my life and pursued teaching clay art to youngsters. It is an incredibly satisfying endeavor and I admire the artisans who have become its history keepers. Creating clay pieces is such an old and wonderful craft that needs to be preserved no matter where it is. Thank you for showing this lovely artisan and his craft.
I was fascinated by their original use: fridges.
Crafting is so important. It teaches discipline, fosters creativity and critical thinking. Even if the craft doesn't become a full time career the skill is always there as a possible side hustle or just for pleasure. Being able to make something by hand is important for us to keep our cultures alive.
@@zaibsoomroDo you export it to India?
@@anweshanaskar5822 prohibited. Can be shipped rather than
But driving for more modern technology is what we should be driving towards. Old crafts should be considered hobbies.
We can only admire and support these wonderful men and women who stick to their arts by giving us the pleasure of their work that has come down probably hundreds of generations. God bless them all and let us keep supporting them by buying them whenever possible. These crafts should never be allowed to die out!
Bless all these craftspeople and others not captured here. Its truly a delight to learn of you. Bless the ancient peoples who figured out these skills and passed them down.
The glassblowers are just beautiful to watch. I have one of the horses shown being made from my first trip to Venice in 1981
These are TRUE Artists... Tradition Should be respected. Thank you for this Documentary. I hope these traditions stay alive by buying these peoples goods.
Thanks for your kind words. I'm the Ajrak maker from Bhitshah
Check my reels
@@zaibsoomro Philippines here. And thank you so much for the kind words. I truly believe in culture being preserved. Its so sad that modern mass production at cheaper prices could even begin to repulicate the ART. To me? Its sad. :(
@@ayeshaPH few people do buy handmade Ajrak. We have been stuck in flood situation badly
@@zaibsoomro Sorry to hear that but at least? The traditions survive no matter what.
That is the most important thing.
The accuracy of the stack of paper is amazing
Wonderful to see these crafts survive! It is such a shame that these skilled artisans often just barely make a living. Inhat way the internet is a blessing for them
I love that these traditions still exists. I want them to continue as healthily as possible. I would love some of the hand made paper. Just a tablets worth. That would be amazing.
I'm from Madeira Island, Portugal.
I saw a lot of handmade different arts slowly disappearing or becoming just something to show the tourists: carpets, embroidery, baskets, bread, whine, ....
Some things remain only as something inside the family but doomed to die with the last person who is willing to put the work.
In my own family the homemade bread will hopefully continue, even a grandson has learned how to make it. Whenever some of us get together, we make the bread. Sons and daughters learned how my aunt did it and we love continuing to make it.
But one of our childhood dishes, only one of my sisters-in-law has the patience to do the hard work.
I am Indian and I am so proud of the country I come from.And I dearly hope that these crafts will still live on
You should be proud. India is a fantastic country. So unbelievably rich in arts, crafts, and culture. Thousands of years, going back more than any of us can possibly imagine.
They didn’t fail at all.
These people are not interested in big money and never will be.
These traditional ways can never be industrialized.
They require human hands, natural ingredients and a lot of time.
That’s why they have their incomparable beauty .
These crafts have survived for centuries in spite of the aggressive industrialization of our times …!
WE have failed to support them and by causing a lot of them to disappear.
When I was a child, I learned to crochet, from my father, who learned from his mother, who learned from her mother. And I smile, when I realize, unlike knitting, machines can't crochet. :)
For each and every step shown for traditional papermaking, I can show you that exact same step on a modern machine that churns out paper in a sheet 20 feet wide at a speed measured in feet per second, and runs 24X7 except for a 2-week period when it is shut down for maintenance. In fact, a virtually IDENTICAL process is used in the lab to test the pulp fed to the machine.
@@kevincrosby1760 there is an inexplicable feeling of deep connection emanating from objects that are crafted, one by one, by human hands and if a few instances such as you describe are possible, they are far and few between and it will always been the case.
And all that mechanical efficiency comes with the cost of people loosing their jobs …and being replaced by machines.
@@noellealyagout1669 I don't contest that at all. In fact, I totally agree. Much of my furniture, shelves, etc. came off the bench on my back porch rather than from a show floor downtown, although I will admit to using power hand tools where possible.
I was instead pointing out that, even when using modern equipment, many of the processes and procedures are the same.
Always remember that the overall education and literacy levels will generally rise to suit the level of technology in use in a given area as workers are required who can understand, manufacture, and use the technology.
I really see nothing glorious in somebody educated to the level required to stomp on animal hides while up to his waste in animal pee when he could instead be educated to the level required to read the canister label and measure out the appropriate amount of Urea before starting the machine which he is educated and trained to understand, repair, and operate, as most of the world has been doing since 1828.
That knife with the chest brace that he is using to scrape hides has indeed been replaced with a machine. He said himself that it was backbreaking and painful. Unsaid in the video is that the skill isn't in scraping the hide, it is knowing exactly when to STOP scraping the hide...the reason that the modern machine still has a person handling each and every hide. The machine simply removes the painful and damaging labor from the process, not the craftsman.
What a privilege to learn about all these amazing masters of traditional crafts! So inspiring.
Crafts always take some effort. Some of this remind me of when my mom would help her mom make fig or blackberry jelly along with canning fruits and vegetables. Or sewing dresses and shirts. My dad restored a couple of Model A's from rust buckets to running machines. It took a while.
The Egyptian stone carver is exactly every professor I had at university art school. He’s the real deal, coulda been a New York Art Star.
I stay in the same neighborhood whenever I go back to see my family , and baba like we call him is a fcking legend. He is absolutely hilarious, so generous while being poor himself , humble, and he always has a kind word and words of encouragement for everyone who passes by .
He showed us what he used to make when he was younger, it left me speechless. Gigantic pieces who are so symmetrical it would’ve freak out a 3D printer , so intricate, so delicate .
He speaks with so much love about his art that, it gave me the urge to tryout. I’m a woman who gave up on working out lol, but even my cousins who are giants couldn’t carve the stone without cutting themselves or making blemishes on it.
This man is a National treasure that will disappear like so many others, because our new dictator doesn’t give a sht about his people
@@Those.who.stay.silent.consentthat's sad, I hope something changes for the better...
Seems all our "leaders" are that way now, the rich and powerful out for themselves.
I have a beautiful small alabaster cat I found at a garage sale, it is inscribed with hieroglyphics. Now I wonder if he could have carved it.
I love seeing these shows ... the craftsmanship - thank you so much for sharing this with us all.
Watching the first segment, the Pakistani ajkac shawls, and loved it.
I wonder if this traditional craft-house uses registered hallmarks or other signatures to differentiate THEIR traditional, handmade, heirloom items from the "cheap" machine-made items?
People pay a LOT for that blue Tiffany box, and Prada fashion. THIS shawl is gorgeous and deserves the same Respect and Premium Price for the Quality! ❤
Thanks for your valuable look. I provide supreme class ajraks
The Indian Mirrors was amazing to watch as well as the others, it is amazing to see such talented people still continuing there crafts on.
I love the crafty world and the dedication by some to traditional ways.
I have one of those arjaks and they are certainly worth even penny, and the difference between machine and hand is noticeable in the quality..

I like this content.
Knowing that there are centuries of arts and crafts that are still standing today and give locals life and pride though they are facing circumstances they choose to continue because they love what they do, also to preserve the culture. So inspiring.
It would've been nice to include these artists' online shops, if they have them.
Shoutout to all these artisans
Cheers from San Diego California
I have a lot of respect for all these artisans, it's tough work with nominal reward.
The old ways are the best ways relative to crafting and building. I come from midwest America, where architecture is incomparable relative to early 20th century design, e.g. the raw, natural materials from Mother Earth, the design details of carvings. It can not and will not be duplicated--to that level--ever again. I took an architectural history class and tour of a Midwest city, and I was amazed. I have a tremendous appreciation for natural, historical crafts and design.
Just think when AI gets going there will be new and beautiful architecture and designs. Cool huh?
@@rylexautumn3766 all AI does is steal from all the available art. It doesn’t create or imagine like the human brain does
Aldi, the tanner, knows full well the dangers of his job and even his own father’s concerns doesn’t deter him from pursuing his passion for traction. I do wish there was a link to these craftsmen so we can support them
Thanks for your kind words. I'm the Ajrak maker from Bhitshah
It’s a pleasure to see traditional methods used to keep art’s alive
I have seen many of these before and they are just as wonderful the second time as the first. Thank you for casting light on them!
Admiring this tradition , wish they put a Website so we can order these beautiful.
Thanks for encourage. You can order anytime
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning about these cultures and their crafts. These people worked so hard and enjoyed their lives. I am saving this to watch with my two small grandkids!
the only thing I learned by watching this is that we humans have a diverse cultural history which is beautiful and more valuable than any money. At root levels, people were always the same, used the same resources, and ate the same food. make love, not war.
This was so interesting to watch. I was fixed on my screen. Would love to see information where one could pick up these items. I would purchase one of the mirrors for my wife.
This was fascinating! I'm so grateful to be able to see and learn just at surface level how these crafts are historically made. More please! I wish I could support each and everyone of these artisans.
Hello
I am the Ajrak maker from Bhitshah
Yasuo, I purchased an 18 oz bottle of your soy sauce yesterday! I honor your work. Insider, it's now $48 on Amazon.
Yes and I bought a bottle at $48... still a deal for all that hard work! Plus it's insanely tasty!
When I visit Italy, I would like to visit where these bells are being built for Catholic Churches. Italian artisans are some of the greatest in the world. The Romans before them, the medieval artisans, Renaissance artists, Baroque artists, modern day artisans keeping their traditions alive.
Viewing this documentary opened my eyes to the different crafts that to this day are being kept traditionally alive by their heirs who give so much love and respect to their ancestors by keeping their craft. Kudos to all of them. I specially appreciate the bell crafters. I wonder if the church bell in our Parish that I used to hear every hour to tell the time and every 6pm to call us in prayer of the Angelus and the Holy Rosary ( I am 68 years old now) were the product of those craftsmen in Italy. The sound of the bell was so loud we can hear it in our village which is 5kms away from the church.
The Dong Ho instantly reminded me of some nail art that you do in a few steps. They must have taken inspiration from painting like these!
I love hand made paper. I used to make my own when I was a teeager. I did a book out of home made paper. I'd love to buy some of the products in this too. The shawl was stunning, so was the blanket. Being in the US, $50 for a hand made shawl that will last versus a factory one would be worth it!
Sure, send me your details
@@zaibsoomro no! Scammer!! You just told someone else you're from the same city but that you do not make these products.

You can and I've been doing that for years. You'd have to buy direct from websites located in their countries though like the Ajraks in Pakistan but in English and payment is easy as usual.

I'm so greatful to this channel and hope to see it still standing giving us unique insights into global cultures and traditions for decades to come. I don't use patron but I would be open to if you are ever needed this support 🙏🏽
I'd just advise that you consider giving direct info to these artists/craftsmen vendors . Their work and talent deserve much praise & support
The indigionist works of art and craft around the world speaks of the heart and soul of their creators. So varied and skilled, Labour intensive, often unknown and unappreciated. Thank you for your video. Please do more.
The operative words in your comment are "creator" and "soul".
This has been one of the BEST videos I've ever watched. Loved the showcasing their crafts.
I adore old world craftsmanship, we all should buy these items when possible because if we don’t this knowledge and skill will be lost forever
Ok you first. Biden's America is way too expensive unfortunately to support ppl.
This was amazing to watch, may the crafting of these hard working talented people continue .
Always a pleasure to watch great craftsmen! They should always be treasured and appreciated, so these crafts won’t die!
This shows the world's people as a whole that borders that need to be as one! No matter how different we're.
So much respect for all these wonderful and talented people. So much sacrifice to preserve their craft. Congratulations to all the artisans and thank you for bringing us this enlightened art forms. From Vancouver Canada with gratitude.
I love Giancarlo's attitude! Is there a way to help these glass blowers offset the extreme cost of keeping the furnaces on?
Bells where such a beautiful process and meaning to it
& loved how the glass blower dude was honest and said you haven’t known meaning of life if you don’t share anything and teach
That is how traditional things disappear.
Hope they all stay in business
We all appreciate handmade crafts. Dedicated work that brings the matter as a form of art....the difference between a poster and a painting.
I love the first artisan's philosophy, infinite possibilities. Wonderful business attitude, he'll go far.

The glass blowing guy is right the best gift you can give someone is knowledge.
Italian glass blower in the green got low key drip 🤣🤣🔥
Much respect to all these makers of Fine Craft. It's very impressive. IN regards to the Beautiful fabrics...what I noticed is that everyone looks like they have self respect for the work they do and so they should. I would feel proud to be doing work like this. It's beautiful. To be available to make a living doing something like this to this quality... the substances used are safe as well...wonderful. I know i';s very hard work.
I'm happy to hear of each of the ways they try to diversify.
I learned how to make paper when I studied art. It's a wonderful thing to do, although I never had to turn raw products into pulp. The woman who taught me did. It uses lye, which wrecked her lungs after a while, even though she worked outside. So she changed to washing soda, which is caustic, but not as bad as lye. Many of these ancient crafts used tools and substances that damaged their bodies in various ways. It's like being a chef and comparing burns and cuts-craftspeople are also scarred. It's part of the job, and many of them derive pride from their scars. I certainly do. I have a paper shredder. I've heard that one can make paper from these shreds, although I've never tried. I think adding some cotton rags torn into shreds helps bind the paper.
I love seeing traditional crafts, long may they live! I’m hoping to find some of these products online.

The mirrors are beautiful! I'd love to have one but they didn't say how to buy them or where to get one?
Me too bit 2 or 3 of them
these people need to be held as national treasures because when they die their knowledge goes with them
This is the BEST 2 hours of time of watching something that I have done in a long time. It looks like most if not all of these artisans should have websites and/or anyway of posting and selling that doesn't cut into their profits so people from around the world can find them and buy from them!!!
The one that shocked me the most I think was how much the mud wrestlers could make. Something I think is amazing for the young men and their families. I guess I wasn't expecting as much because "mud wrestling" in the US is usually done with wet mud and is done more to entertain for charities or in bars etc, because it is so funny to watch the wrestlers slip and slide and grab ahold of each other but can't because of the slippery, and their mud wrestling is more like competition wrestling and done in dry clay!!! Much more physical demand, much more serious and could garner the same types of fans competition wrestling and entertainment sports wrestling has in the US.
Also little ole me living practically middle of US from all directions have not had the opportunity to travel much, in the US alone much less actually never outside of the country, all of these traditions for the most part were new to me . I might have heard something but never saw it, or kind of had an idea about but not so extensively in such detail as shown here. Take weaving for instance ... I know how to weave, and have done it on a very small level, but unless using the KISS method I WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO LEARN A LOT before attempting to do anything besides weave something in all one color, I couldn't do it!!!.
Yeah I thought it was great viewing also.
I too have hardly traveled.
I live in Australia and only just the weekend that has passed went to another state. First time ever in this state. It was way too cold. I was tired and felt lost.
Scary driving a hire car. Did not like my apartment nor the flight and the whole thing cost me a fortune.
I say thank God for video's such as this.
I know to be there might be a great experience but I think I will stick with traveling the world through Utube or alike.
(I might just be getting too old. HaHa.(
I ❤ and appreciate craftsmen, their love for details and the beauty of the products. Thank you
I feel amazing.... How could golorious people preserve their ancient traditional, culture and art.
The Artisans need stores…some store owners have sought out varied artisan products but there needs to be more exchange happening because customers WILL pay for these artisan items.
Collectively, we need to find ways to support these artisan works~it is Earth | Earthling Heritage and it is paramount in importance to acknowledge how unique, needed and wanted these beautiful works really are. Support Local but also, if your local store is selling artisan works…pay the extra money~you are supporting the very uniqueness of humanity~the magic of humanity.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a lot
Beautiful way the wooden barrel man spoke & still looks hell young. Must be amazing to have your own business. A year of fermentation and two more years ! This is insane I had no idea.
This is amazing
Wild And fucked up how big companies make it with sugars etc and added stuff to make it taste like the real thing. This blew my mind. Makes sense now. And people use soy sauce like nothing and it takes. Year or more
Wow
This is beautiful
It's interesting to think about how most of these techniques were invented independently from each other, long ago, before industrialization.
All of this is BEAUTIFUL!

It's crazy how every product seems insanely reasonably priced for the amount of work and quality. Some even like those wool blankets and the ajraks l was like that cheap, really?
Nowadays the best ajraks are up to $100 each. Which is still a steal compared to batik but the printing quality isn't as fine as hand drawn Indonesian batik. So the prices are imo fair for the quality.
"cheap" is relative.
Is that your privilege showing?

Is that your cowardice showing?
So informative! I've learned a lot and feel proud for all the craftsmen who manage to keep their centuries old craft alive in the crazy world of plastics.
Wow I would so love those shawls. So beautiful. What a piece to hand down. Truly I like the comment that says, there needs to be a website set up for these people. I'm only 8 minutes and 45 seconds in. And I'm like where can I get this...
Oh I hope I can find his store.
Thanks for encourage

13:20 - I wonder what such a lovely little bell would cost me, Outstanding work they do 🏆
Murano is amazing. I watched an elder glass maker, make a similar horse right in front of us and in minutes. I'm proud to have a beautiful bowl from the island. It broke but I salvaged it and adorns our family shelf.
Arjak in Indonesia is well-known as Batik. The painting fabric, drawn by hand even for detailed pictures. I reckon you to review batik, the ancient culture of Javanese heritage.
Batik is different. Batik uses wax

Ahhh my heart goes out to the Ukranian weavers! If I were in the area I would gladly lend a hand and learn something new about weaving! I miss weaving!
What a great video, thank you for sharing these wonderful creators 🥰
Just amazing. We need these skilled craftsmen to teach younger people their skills to keep the knowledge alive.
I mis the ringing of the church bells, I am not religious but Sunday was always special when we lived in the UK, I love the sound of the bells, when we moved to Australia it took a long time to realise that here on Sunday the bells never rang not even I. The small towns. The silence is deafening on Sunday’s and because of this every day feels like the last.
I would love to have an authentic one. Beautiful!
Sure
Wow I wud like to buy 1 or 2 ,3 of those beautifull blankets.
Sure
Me too I want a coat made a long Cowboy coat with leather on the shoulders and a beautiful pattern throughout the rest of the coat I wonder how we can figure out how to get a hold of it then so we can try to buy some from them
You should have links to all their online shops.

@@zaibsoomro I'm interested in 3 of the crafts I saw in the video. Both of the cloth makers the one that uses the cotton fabric washing it in the river etc as wells as the craftsmen who use silk and the last o e is the family that makes the metal mirrors.
