Carrie Varjavandi from Dundee shared her experiences of three and a half years in the city of Xi'an in China where she worked as a teacher in an international school as well as working with various Bahá'í educational groups of all ages.

An artist as well as a teacher, Carrie is particularly fascinated by the surviving traditional crafts and artisanship she dicovered there, and shared some of what she learned of the popular art of paper-cutting with those gathered in Inchvannie in a short hands-on workshop.
