NOVICA is one of the leading fair trade artisan websites. They work with National Geographic to give talented artisans around the world a place to express their artistic talents and provide access to the world market.
A Nation of artists throughout the world —
a village of carvers in Bali;
a family of ceramists in Brazil who have handed down their craft
from generation to generation;
a farmer in the Andes who hand-weaves alpaca sweaters.It is a community of artists who have been isolated
for centuries by distance, time, and geography —
isolated from the very community of collectors seeking
their unique, inspired, and undiscovered arts and crafts.Now, finally, there is a bridge connecting our separate
communities into one worldwide nation —
this is The NOVICA Nation.A nation of people inspired by the arts and
empowered by the Internet.
We are all members.
NOVICA has recently launched their new website, NOVICA LIVE, where you can become a NOVICA consultant through their direct sales program.
{Review}
I have drooled over the beautiful items on the NOVICA website for ages now, so I was thrilled to be asked to host a review and giveaway for them. I spent probably an hour looking through all of the gorgeous pieces, before choosing the West African Drum pictured below.
I love how well it fits in with the other decor on my mantel. The picture doesn’t do the drum justice, as the detailing is exquisite. Plus, it is pretty fun to play! Ha!
