ARTISANA ISLAND CRAFTS
Artisana Island Crafts’ use of ceramics interwoven and intertwined with natural pandan fiber that grow abundantly in the foothills of the island’s volcano, Mt. Kanla-on, has been it’s most distinctive feature in majority of it’s product collections.
Woven by women who skillfully harvest, strip and dye the pandan leaves in a village-based environment, the baskets are enhanced and embellished with hand pressed and hand painted ceramic of different shapes that complete a whole story of tabletop accessories ranging from coasters, napkin holders, bread baskets, fruit bowls, storage baskets and containers.
The social enterprise has been partnering with community-based women’s organizations in the countryside where women weave from home as they continue to take care of their families and run their households.
