I began working in Haiti over 19 years ago with the goal of fighting poverty through art. During that time, we have worked with as many as 120 artists, cultivating business relationships, and building friendships. We have learned the good that comes from Fair Trade. Because of our firm belief in Fair Trade and its practice, every sale we make of metal art makes a positive impact on the artist who produces it. Those benefits flow through the whole workshop and create prosperity for their own family, workers and apprentices, and ultimately, the entire village. We are proud to be a part of that and we hope that as you admire your new piece of handcrafted, recycled folk art you will feel a bit of that pride as well.
This piece is an example of what we have carried in the past. Visit our website or our Etsy shop to see our full collections!

This Tri of Angels was Handmade by Haitian Artist Jean Edmon. It was cut out of a used steel barrel only using a hammer and a nail. He uses a tiny sharp nail to add detail around the angels eyes and hair. She is shaped with a hammer over a pipe to make her stand as a center piece.
