Every piece has a maker, a technique, and a place.

There is no one "African craft." Our pieces come from distinct traditions across the continent, each named for what it is and where it is from. This is the index of how everything we sell is made, and by whom.

The crafts

• 

  Basket Weaving

  There is no one African basket. Three distinct weaving traditions today, held side by side.

• 

  Textile Crafts

  Different looms, different hands, different places: the textile traditions behind our rugs, tapestries, and cloth.

• 

  Beadwork

  One patient discipline in two materials: glass carries color and light, wood carries grain and warmth.

  The registers
• 

  Carved Woodwork

  Benches and stools carved from solid wood, where the making stays visible in the grain and the stance.
