The Druze community is a Unitarian offshoot of Islam developed in 11th-century Egypt and now practiced by about one million people scattered throughout the Middle East.
Today, women in this community are using their handwork, passed on from generation to generation, to ensure their future. They are part of a cooperative, making products not only for their community, but to sell as art to outsiders. They have also opened their craft circles, kitchens and homes to tourists.
