About the Artists

About the Artists


Originals from Africa is a member of the Fair Trade Federation and local empowerment, encouragement of the preservation of culture, and alleviation of poverty through the development and marketing of unusual products and artwork is our mission. Supporting local art and craft will not only give a greater appreciation for art in Southern Africa, but will also provide a much needed income to the artists and their families. We actively encourage the continued production of traditional crafts and the development of new and contemporary items.
