Handcrafted Haitian Metal Art, Jesus on the Cross in Circle Frame, Eco-Friendly Religious Decor 10.5"x10.75"
Artist- Jean Marie Pierre
Eager to work and eager to please, Jeanmarie Pierre is fairly new to metal sculpture, yet has jumped in with confidence and enthusiasm. His beautiful suns, trees and fish demonstrate his versatility and his growing skill. He tells Casey, "The works is still weary, but I want to do more. I am talented and confident in myself. I will take a sample of your ideas and I would like you to think of me whenever you have a job." Always willing to try something different, always willing to experiment with a new design or technique, Jeanmarie knows that his work will be known and appreciated. He lives his life in two simple words, "I can!"
Fair trade isn't just a good idea - its the way we do business.
We offer a hand up, not a hand out to our artist partners in Haiti. Each sale of their metal sculptures represents a positive step toward a better life.
The center of Haitian metal sculpture is the village of Croix-des-Bouquets, where the clanging sound of hammers striking chisels is a constant music. To begin, the artist chalks his design onto the metal. Chisels, dies and a large hammer are used to cut and shape the piece, giving it form and texture. When the highly intricate and physically demanding work is complete and the artist is satisfied with his work, he signs his name boldly with a small chisel and applies a clear, weather-proof coating. The result is a wonderful, fair trade piece of handcrafted art.
