It is sad to think this unique and wondrous craft will be lost when Kyri eventually retires or can no longer work. All of those lovely patterns will be lost. Who will the designers turn to?

If I were a high end designer, I would find an apprentice willing to learn the craft and have them apprentice with Kyri so at least one person could carry on.

His patterns are perfect, he is a perfectionist and also a very proud man of great integrity. He is the last of a dying breed and when he finally retires, there will be no one to replace this great artist..

The rest of us just love our work! Your fine craftsmanship is a gift, thank you. Saba

The patterns are even works of art. Kyri is indeed a master craftsman. I really enjoyed this story, thank you.
