INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY IS MARCH 8TH!

Championing Women Everywhere

We have long believed that change begins with women. When female artisans confront social and economic barriers, the impact is significant. We see it reflected in the lives of their children, families, and communities.

Join us in supporting female artisans on International Women’s Day – and every day.

Intrepid Women

Meet incredible women artisans who are breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and changing the way the world works.

Ketut Sulastri

Uplifting local homemakers in Bali

As a little girl, Ketut Sulastri made jewelry to pay her school fees and support her parents, who worked in construction in Bali. She learned to silversmith by watching others, but by 15, she was taking in orders and turning out beautiful pieces.

While her career in the arts may have started out in a quiet corner of the house by herself, today she has transformed that passion into a communal affair. She employs 20 neighborhood women, many of whom are homemakers from her community. In Ketut’s workshop, they receive higher wages than most women earn working daily jobs. Her determination and goodwill are inspiring to all.

Waraporn

Celebrating a father’s legacy in Thailand

It started with a humble bamboo skewer and a daughter’s passion for craftsmanship. Waraporn Khamsuk’s father worked all day at a factory in Northern Thailand, producing these slender wooden rods. It was repetitious and uninspiring work until he accepted an order for a wooden game and he had a chance to shine. Soon, he began taking on his own clients. When he was killed in an accident in 2012, Waraporn — the eldest daughter — took it upon herself to run his workshop. We can only imagine how proud he would be. Today, she creates some of the most exquisite games, puzzles, and tableware we’ve seen. It is a legacy that celebrates concentration, patience, and planning — the exact skills that a well-crafted game can offer.

Francis Oliveira

Offering a new perspective from a shelter in Brazil

Before Francis Oliveira became a paper jewelry maker, she worked at a shelter in Rio de Janeiro. One of the women who lived there had a tic and would roll up tiny pieces of paper throughout the day. Hoping to empower her and others, Francis developed creative projects for the women that involved small, rolled-up pieces of paper.

The shelter eventually shut down in 2003, but Francis had found her passion — recycled paper jewelry making. Even after she left to set up her workshop, she continued to invite women from the shelter to spearhead their own projects. Today her eco-conscious jewelry is gorgeous to look at. It also serves as a beacon to local women discovering their own artistic and entrepreneurial capabilities.

Milagros Campos

Preserving ancestral techniques in Peru

Milagros Campos understands two things profoundly. First, disappearing arts must be preserved if they are to survive. Second, upholding those ancient artistic practices gives women a real chance to support themselves and their families.

Milagros runs two workshops in the Ayacucho region where women who were once migrant agricultural workers have the opportunity to learn a craft, which gives them control over their own lives. This hope and positivity are reflected in the vibrant alpaca pouches that Milagros designs.
