'African Arts and Crafts' has a stunning selection of products, which highlight
Africa's vibrant artistic tradition, predominantly
from Kenya. Each item tells a story and is a visual
representation of the society in which it is crafted. Our
products are lovingly handcrafted from natural materials, and
consequently each item is totally unique and infused with the
character of the individual craftsman. We derive enormous
satisfaction in the knowledge that our efforts play a role in
the empowering of individuals and their communities. We
support their dedication to sustaining traditional craft
techniques and developing modern art forms. Traditional art forms are still produced in rural
Southern Africa and are as much an integral part of daily
life as they were centuries ago. Traditional divisions of
labour, with men as carvers and women making beadwork and
clay, are no longer strictly observed due to changing
times. Historically certain families were associated with a
particular craft and these skills would be passed to their
sons and daughters. This is no longer the case and communities
now share their skills in recognition of the need for economic
growth.
