How Much Do the Carvers Receive From the Purchase?
Prices are set by the artists. We are members of the Fair Trade Federation (www.fairtradefederation.com, link below) which means, among other things, that we are committed to fair wages in the local context and have been checked out by the federation. The price of each piece is determined by a number of factors including the type and hardness of the stone, the difficulty of sculpting involved, the size of the piece, and in some cases, the artist’s generation/position in the carving community.
