The artisans of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, use old oil drums to make their beautiful drum art. The Haitian Metal Ornaments Elevita carries are made at the workshop of Eugene--an artisan who owns a small shop in an area known as Croix des Bouquet. Elevita ensures that the artisans are paid fair trade wages for the work we purchase from them. So by purchasing these beautiful ornaments, you are not only acquiring something lovely for your home or Christmas tree, but you are also supporting skilled artisans whose country was so recently ravaged by the devastating earthquake of January, 2010.
