Janet Willoughby established her company,
Ends of the Earth, in 1987. She did so with the intention
of assisting the survival of traditional crafts. During her extensive travels, Janet has made many special friends and contacts and organises TEXTILE TOURS. Janet also publishes on this web site NEWS of her latest travels and a list of CONTACTS in countries around the world who would be useful to textile enthusiasts. Ten years ago Janet started recording these traditional skills on video. So far eighteen VIDEOS on different skills have been produced and this has become an important part of the promoting of SURVIVING TRADITIONS. All the titles are now available on DVD in both PAL and NTSC format, playable in every country. Ends of the Earth Textile Experience Tours PERU - only 2 places left!
