The Bead Studio will be hosting a trunk show from Kazuri Beads and Metalcraft by DeZine April 1st - 15thKazuri
A Symbol of Women Changing the World
Kazuri Ltd is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. The Kazuri factory is tucked away in the rolling hills outside Nairobi, Kenya. Here, the gorgeous handcrafted ceramic beads and jewelry are made from African clay, dug by hand, from Mount Kenya. Kazuri produces a wide range of handmade, hand-painted ceramic beads that shine like a kaleidoscope of African colors. Each bead is shaped individually by hand without the aide of molds, forms, or any modern machinery. They are then painted with high gloss paint, and glazed to produce a smooth, shiny decorated bead. This project began in 1975 to help disadvantaged women of the Kikuyu Tribe. The profound difference this art has made in the lives of these women is very powerful.
