Haitian Handiwork
Handmade in Haiti from recycled steel oil drums, this vibrant votive holder is a charming combination of joyful color, traditional craftsmanship and rugged materials.
Creating art from recycled steel drums has been a long tradition in Haiti. Artisans purchase industrial 55-gallon drums and then stuff them with straw, which is then burned in order to remove any remaining oil residue.
The drums are then cut, the metal is rolled flat and a stencil of the design is glued over top of the sheet metal. With hammer and chisel the artisan creates the design and cuts the form. Colorful painted flowers are the final touch.
Each votive holder comes with a tea light, which will beautifully flicker through the spaces among the floral and vine design. This piece also looks great on its own or holding a small vase with flowers.
Handmade in Haiti by the Comite Artisanal Haitian, an artisan cooperation of 170 artists who live in and around Port au Prince.
