Behind the Design: Our ceramic products are handmade by a group of artisans at Gatagara Pottery in Rwanda. Formed in 1977 by a Belgian priest in Rwanda’s southern province, Gatagara is located in a small but picturesque workshop in the district of Nyanza. Often considered the cradle of Rwanda’s heritage, Nyanza is nestled east of a large lake that provides artisans with the natural materials they need to practice traditional craft techniques. After preparing a mixture of sand, gravel, limestone, and water in a large basin and shaping the product by hand, the artisans let the clay dry for 2-3 weeks before applying glaze made from natural dyes and baking them in a hot kiln. From design to finished product, the ceramic-making process takes about one month to complete! The distinctive handmade quality makes each piece of pottery unique and timeless.

The artisan sector is the second largest employer in the developing world. Yet the majority of artisans are women who lack access to export markets, business skills, and the financial tools needed to run successful, global enterprises.
We are dedicated to changing that by investing 100% of our profits into education programs for the women who handcraft our products and youth in their communities. Since 2007, we've provided over 1,100 artisans and 250 young people in Rwanda & Ghana with employment opportunities, entrepreneurship training, and consistent access to the global export market.
