Artesanias Peru - Esperanza & Raquel Artisan Story
Peru

ART-RJ-artisan-1

Cochas Chico and Coches Grande, twin farming villages nestled in the Andean mountains of Huancayo Peru, are home to a rich tradition of gourd carving. It's also home to Esperanza Palomino and Raquel Sabastian Rojas, two women who have established small fair-trade businesses to help create new jobs for the artisans in their village. Besides creating new jobs for artisans aged ten to sixty, both women manage work distribution from the main office to give priority to the families with the greatest need.

Something the snail reminds us is that no matter how slow you progress, you're still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying. This unique hand-carved gourd snail ornament makes a great gift for any time of the year and is a wonderful home accent. This ornament is three-dimensional w/ ceramic accents and can be hung on your tree, in the window, or set on a mantel. They also are a beautiful way to help provide for artisans and their families.

Gourds are a natural and uniquely shaped vegetable, similar to a pumpkin or a squash. As such, designs, shape and dimensions will vary slightly.

  • Height measures approximately 2-3/4"
  • Diameter measures approximately 2-1/2"

These ornaments are hand-carved in Peru and Fair Trade imported.
