Artisans & Adventurers Large Christmas Stocking 'inca Cherry'
These hand-carved soapstone plates are a gorgeous accompaniment to your current china or earthenware. For use with starters and snacks for your dining table or dinner party. Sustainably mined in Kenya, soapstone is a beautifully tactile metamorphic rock with an appearance similar to marble. The natural variations in the surface are part of its unique beauty. Soapstone is non-porous and heat-resistant, making it great for a wide range of uses. Handmade in Kisii by a craft cooperative with the aim of chasing away poverty and ensuring their artisans have food, shelter, clothes, clean water to drink, medical facilities and better education for their children.
United by their love for design, sustainability and adventure, friends Bee Friedmann and Amy Fleuriot-Reade founded Artisans & Adventurers in 2011. With one store on London’s Columbia Road and another in the creative seaside town of Margate, the brand works directly with small-scale artisanal and craft groups in India and Africa, using their traditional techniques to create a range of homeware and jewellery pieces that celebrate style, colour and print. From sustainable olive-wood tableware and hand-dyed fabric throws, to charming baskets and hand-painted pottery, Artisans & Adventurers’ pieces weave wanderlust into any interior.
