While there will always be a high demand for handcrafted African products, there is definitely room for progression in African production processes. We work with a South African metal casting workshop that exemplifies modern African craft production, relying heavily on a symbiosis between human and machine interaction.

One of the biggest advantages of introducing technology to the crafts sector is competitive pricing. These stylish brass thumbprint necklaces bring fair trade income to more than 50 Cape Town workers, and thanks to streamlined production methods, they do so at a price that everyone can appreciate. Win win!
