"The contemporary tapestries woven by Romanian weavers Cela Neamtu and Aurica Pomponiu are beautiful examples of what tapestry is all about; intricacy of technique, profusion of color and personal expression.  Their weavings attest to the rigors and demands of this technique, yet they go beyond - the aesthetic appeal is captivating!"

Gifts That Give Twice

Global Artisan Showcase is dedicated to enriching your gift giving experience by creating more rewarding satisfaction for every gift that you purchase. We are proud to offer you an exceptional opportunity to choose unique gifts that also support extraordinary good works.

On Global Artisan's checkout page, you have the option to donate a full 10-20% of your purchase price, at no additional cost to you, to benefit one of our outstanding charitable partners, Women For Women International or You Have The Power. (10% applies to all purchases, by your choice. 20% automatically applies to purchases of art supplied by Women for Women International artists.)

By choosing a Global Artisan gift and donation, you will enjoy:

1. The beauty of one-of-a-kind fine craft for yourself or another.
2. Providing income for fine craft artisans, many of whom are women who labor under impoverished conditions to support their families.
3. Making a substantial cash donation to further the efforts of our charitable partners in bringing economic and personal freedom to their beneficiaries.

Our mission and promise to you:

• To provide a stress-free and authentic source of unique, keepsake fine crafts that beautify your home or office.
• To be an outstanding corporate citizen by supporting fair trade for artisans and by contributing substantially to the charitable community that enhances lives worldwide.

Global Artisan strives to build its business one customer, one artisan, one piece of fine handmade craft at a time. We are the corner store on the internet. This is not the typical business model in a climate of mass-produced and mass-marketed stuff. We are proud to be able to promise you that we will slow down and provide a satisfying experience for all involved.
