Earth Day

Earth Day is a celebration of our growing sensitivity to our natural world.  Every day across Africa, artisans explore their local natural environments for unique crafting material. Some items put to use natural materials like clay and banana palm fiber, offering gifts with an earthy feel and function. Other items are crafted from synthetic items that obscure artisans' natural environs, like the flip flops that wash up onto the beaches of the Lamu Archipelago by the ton (yes, you read that correctly).
