Both the Silversmith and the weaver were upset that their children did not want to take on the craft, this being the case, each of these traditions would die-out. Both could understand why, the lure of education and changing times, modernity unfortunately is a double-edged sword, and although they understood this, they shared with me their sadness that many traditions would cease to exist. We often discussed the cultural significance for each of the crafts, and they saw the importance of trying to maintain traditions and were afraid that items of cultural significance would eventually be made overseas, if not lost forever.
