Artists with Our Woven Community speak with customers at the Wakeman Town Farm Sustainable Goods Market this afternoon. The Bridgeport-based Burroughs Center, who organizes the program, describes it as “a Burroughs program that provides local resettled refugee women the opportunity to become self-sufficient leaders and become empowered with entrepreneurial skills and economic opportunity.” Handmade goods included purses, laptop cases, wallets, and clothing items - with 100% of the sales going to the artists and program expenses. More information or goods can be found at their website: burroughscenter.org. WestportLocal.com photo
