We visited one of the carpet schools in Cairo, where the children attending get an education and much hands-on training in carpet-making. Some of the students follow a printed pattern to acheive the design on the finished rug, but others just work off of a picture they have only in their creative minds - both with amazing results. When we paused by their looms, the carpet makers glanced at us with ready smiles, pausing briefly in their rapid rhythms of pulling, tying and snipping threads.
