Our Partners in Tanzania
Our artists have many years experience gently crafting intricately decorated pieces out of the dense blackwood, ranging from tiny chess pieces to life-size people and animals. They can create masterpieces straight from their own creative minds or see the visions of others made into reality. And, when we say that each artist will directly benefit from the sale of his work, we really mean it! Each partner receives a significant share of the profit. Our most important Tanzanian partners are:
Jacob
A master carver, he is the giraffe specialist that carved our signature bookends we love to show off so much.
John
Another master carver, he can sculpt the most amazing scenes of Tanzanian life onto beautifully hand-crafted bowls.
Alex
A self described shop-keeper, a Tanzanian entrepreneur with mounds of ambition and heart, he works closely with everyone to make sure operations flow smoothly in Tanzania.
James
A big picture guy who loves to focus on the potential in life, he finds new talent and also keeps us socially responsible.
We need you
We are very proud of our Tanzanian roots, but none of this would be possible without the support of our partners around the world. Want to get involved? Contact us.
