About the Artisan Group


Many artisans from the Allpa group are internally displaced refugees living in slums on the outskirts of major cities. Others live in villages located in remote mountainous or rainforest regions. For most of these people, craft production is their only source of income. Allpa is an indigenous word meaning "earth" in Ayacachuan Quechua. It is the artisans' reminder that the stone, wood, vegetable and animal fibres with which they work are from the earth. About 2,000 artisan families are represented by Allpa throughout Peru.More>>
