Fair Trade and Handmade

Our mission is to offer income-generating opportunities to craftspeople in developing countries by following fair trade practices including paying in advance at least the market price for items, ensuring that craftspeople receive payment, and ensuring that the craftspeople work in fair working conditions. We work directly with artisans, craftspeople, and producer groups to achieve these goals and hopefully help improve the lives of some of the people with whom we share this planet.

Suitable for Indoor or Outdoor Use

Each piece of metal art whether painted or natural is coated with a layer of clear lacquer to protect the metal from any rust.

To hang metal art simply use pin head nails in the many nooks and spaces available in the design.

Given the handmade nature of this product please allow for minor variations. As the metal is recovered from recycled oil drums and colored through a burning process it will vary slightly in coloration. Typically the piece has a darkened steel patina.
