Ruwan Dinesh Fernando

Master of weaving, now teaching apprentices

  • 🇱🇰 Dehiwala, Western, Sri Lanka
  • Since 1985
  • English, Sinhala
I've worked in weaving since 1985. I learned from my grandfather and passed what I could on to 1,350 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 16 years later for another job.

What gifts mean to Ruwan: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
