Kato was raised in Canada and has now returned to live full time in Carriacou. She worked in various fields before discovering her gift for weaving. While still new to the industry, she's creating beautiful works and is expanding her line of woven household articles at a swift pace. Using mostly rag weaving, she's creating beautiful baskets, floor rugs, pot holders and artworks in a tropical palette of colours. View Kato's work at the Vendors Market or call 459-9333.

Located beside the bus terminal in the main town of Hillsborough (behind Ade's Dream) stands a cluster of brightly painted stands with fresh fruit and vegetables, locally made arts and crafts including jewellery, paintings, weaving, hand made and tie dyed clothing, crochet items, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, calabash musical shakers, hats, purses, candle holders, polished shells and t-shirts.

While not really artisans in a traditional sense, the final outcome of their work tells a different story. After the rock is quarried it's placed at the side of the road for sale where the masons either hand choose each piece or order it by the truck load depending on the size of the job. Each piece is chiseled to size and cemented in place, then filled in and cleaned until a smooth surface is acquired. Quarry process and masons at work in the gallery below.
