My name is Kirstin, I'm a senior at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY and an intern at Tilonia.com - the website that sells Barefoot College Handicrafts. I spent a semester in India last year and researched textile artisan's livelihoods and traditions and how globalization and commercialization have affected traditional ways of production and altered artisan lifestyles. I visited the Barefoot College for a short time and wanted to become more involved. Upon returning home, I found Tilonia.com and here I am!
