The Teal Soapstone Heart is a testament to the rich artisan culture of Haiti. The artisans work tirelessly to carve and sand each piece, ensuring that every heart is a work of art. The soapstone used in these creations is sourced locally, allowing artisans to utilize the natural resources of their homeland while preserving their traditional crafting techniques.
Our hearts come in three distinct sizes to suit your preferences:
Each heart may vary slightly in size and coloring, making every piece truly unique. The beautiful teal color and the etched lotus design add a touch of elegance and serenity to any space.
By choosing the Teal Soapstone Heart, you are supporting fair trade practices that empower artisans in Haiti. The Artisan Business Network (ABN) plays a crucial role in providing these artisans with the tools and resources they need to thrive. Through fair trade, artisans receive fair compensation for their work, allowing them to support their families and improve their community's well-being.
Haiti faces numerous challenges, including poverty, lack of access to education, and inadequate healthcare. The average income in Haiti is a mere $55 per month, and many families struggle to meet their basic needs. However, organizations like ABN are making a significant difference by connecting artisans with international markets. This connection enables artisans to earn a sustainable income, which in turn helps them provide for their families and contribute to their communities.
Choosing our Teal Soapstone Heart means more than just acquiring a beautiful decorative item; it means making a positive impact on the lives of Haitian artisans. Each purchase supports their craft and helps to preserve their cultural heritage. The heart serves as a symbol of love, compassion, and hope, making it a perfect gift for loved ones or a meaningful addition to your home decor.
In summary, the Teal Soapstone Heart with etched lotus design is not only a stunning piece of art but also a powerful statement of support for the Haitian artisan community. By choosing this heart, you are embracing the beauty of handmade craftsmanship while contributing to a brighter future for those in need.
