Effective immediately, Barnes Gallery and Handcrafted Imports are collaborating by bringing exquisite ceramic pieces from South African designers ready for purchase at Garden City’s Barnes Gallery. Handcrafted Imports brings the awesome beauty and creativity of the most talented artisans of South Africa to the United States. Uniquely designed by South African artists, the exquisite ceramic pieces each communicate a personal story of obtaining beauty through determination and triumph. Handcrafted Imports not only tells the artists’ story, but also improves the lives and the economy of South Africa by practicing Fair Trade for all, specifically fair and sustainable wages, training, business development and life-enhancing skills for the South African people.

Barnes Gallery, known for its tasteful design and offerings for more than 40 years, is the perfect provider and partner for Handcrafted Imports because they have always recognized and believe in fine design and craftsmanship.

“Offering these items shows, in a very tangible way, that lives can be impacted for the better with both support and style for sustainability,” said Barnes Gallery owner Greg Schnoor.

“The stories of the South African artists are told through their offerings…we are just trying to make a way for them to be heard,” added Handcrafted Imports CEO Eleanor Poppe.
