  Our creative customers
  Our creative customers Our customers often send us photographs of how they used their products. Whenever possible we show these photos to the artisans and give them other feedback. They really appreciate feeling part of the chain and seeing how their work is used and it can give them new ideas. Here in the Customer Gallery you can see some of these photos. If you're a customer and have some photos that you would like to share please get in touch.
