If an artisan group resists a new design, what is the best way to introduce change?

Correct answer: Involve artisans in the design process, test a sample, and seek their feedback

Involving artisans in the design process, trying a sample, and taking feedback uses their skills and experience in the proposed change. It also helps test whether the design is practical and increases acceptance. Forcing a change without explanation can increase resistance, while immediately ending the traditional craft may threaten both livelihoods and cultural identity. Exam tip: In artisan-based development, participation, pilot testing, and feedback are usually the best approach.
