Artesanias Peru - Esperanza and 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.

Exquisitely hand-painted ladybugs and butterflies with dragonflies and leaf tendrils create a summer garden on this natural gourd box.  Stroll in the garden anyone?

Handcrafted by artisans in Huancayo Peru where gourd carving is a traditional craft that spans many generations. Each gourd is skinned, cleaned, and sun-dried before artisans paint the designs that adorn their surface. Purchase of these gourds helps to provide economic and social support to Peruvian artisans and their families.

  • Small Measures 3-1/2” high x 3-3/4” diameter
  • Medium Measures 4-1/4” high x 4-3/4” diameter
  • Only Pink is available

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

Handmade and hand-painted in Peru and fair trade imported.
