Created in Peru in 1985, the association now supports about 400 self-employed craftspeople across 13 Andean workshops, helping them remain in their communities while earning a living. Each piece is completed and signed by an individual artisan, with sales supporting artisan families and the educational programs that train future craftspeople.
