Noah’s Ark was established in 1986 in response to the exploitation of poor
artisans in Moradabad, Northern India by exporters in the
unorganised handicraft sector. More than 500 artisans are now working for Noah’s Ark, choosing Fair Trade employment to create better opportunities for their families and their communities. A
portion of Noah’s Ark’s profits is allocated to run a school providing
free education to nearly fifty artisans’ children near Moradabad.

Our design team worked closely with Motif to develop this range made
from recycled packets, and has also given the ancient technique
of basket weaving a new lease of life. It is usual to recycle as much as possible in Bangladesh and traders buy waste materials from people house to house. The wrappers
are washed thoroughly with soap and laid out in the sun to
dry then distributed to women in their homes to be woven into baskets.
…and then woven into colourful baskets…

This range is made by Asha, and is hand-crafted by a producer who
is continuing his family’s artisan history as a carpenter. He is inspired by traditional antique furniture that would have been found in affluent Indian households. Both the wood and the sheets of
brass used are procured from merchants in Jaipur, and the
brass is hand-cut as well as die-cut from the sheets.

wood, in a small town called Saharanpur, about 100 miles
north of Delhi.They are made by Asha and Aspiration, an organisation which aims to promote and develop cottage industries without
publicising its own work. It provides financial
assistance to all its artisans, and encourages them to send
their children to school.

Production of the wooden handicrafts is organised
in family groups, machinery is minimal, and most of the work is done sitting cross-legged on the floor. Most carvers are Muslims and you can see this influence in the
patterns of brass inlay or ‘Jali’ carving in many
of the items.

Despite Kisii being one of the world’s largest producers of soapstone, it is
extremely poor. Most people in Kisii live a subsistence lifestyle, so the
income from soapstone handicrafts is vital to their existence. After the rough outline of each shape is created, the stone is placed in water and sanded until the
chiseled stone is completely smooth. The stone is painted
and the designs are hand etched into the stone to reveal the natural
white under the paint.

Touch of India carries out most of its work with
Muslim minorities and aims to preserve traditional embroidery techniques such as Kantha embroidery, Zardozi and Aari work. All the sequin and bead embroidery is done by hand, so pieces
such as this new floral range are extremely
labour-intensive and the work is highly skilled.
These beautiful new embroidered jewellery boxes, jewellery rolls, frames and pocket mirrors are from Touch of India in Delhi.

The use of recycled saris to make these beautiful accessories is
a great example of Indian society’s re-use of all sorts of materials. Touch of India also uses a wide range of natural materials such as shells in its embroidery. All the embroidery is done by hand by Touch of India’s
artisans at the production centre in Delhi. Touch of India
provides excellent company benefits to its workforce.

These new wallhangings from Aspiration are also made from recycled saris; in this
case the borders of saris are used in strips to create diamond
patterns. These pieces are made in Rajasthan after a centuries-old technique which originally began in Turkey where woven cloth was put on the backs of camels and donkeys to protect them from the cold
of the mountains. Nomadic tribes carried the
craft through to Asia and Afghanistan and Pakistan and
eventually to India.

from the garment industries. They are
bought from scrap merchants and large markets, according to weight. Karm Marg’s rag rug artisans are all from local villages in a rural area near
Delhi. The rags are given to the artisans who
make the rugs on a handloom in their homes.

It is said that if you hang a dreamcatcher in your bedroom,
the net catches bad dreams which then disappear with the light of day. Good dreams are allowed to filter through. Mitra Bali in Indonesia makes our dreamcatchers, we have worked with them
for over fifteen years and the dreamcatchers have been
best sellers for some time.

These fun Bali cats are hand-carved from Albesia wood, one of the fastest
growing trees in the world and therefore a perfect sustainable material. The cats with long tails also make great ring-holders! The production of these handicrafts in Indonesian villages prevents the artisans from having to go into the cities
for employment. They get good and prompt payments for their
work which enables them to support their families and cover school fees.

These musical instruments were developed by the artisans at EMA’s production centre in
Kolkata. The artisans are from remote villages or other areas where it is
difficult to make a living. As well as their salary they are provided with food and lodgings. Most of these instruments are traditional Indian instruments, including the Dugi, Nagori and Bongo drums which have wood or clay bodies with leather
stretched across the top. For EMA, the development of skills to make these
products means the development and growth of Indian culture and tradition.
