Craft provides a powerful means of socio-economic mobility, especially in communities with limited access to education or formal employment. By refining traditional skills and producing high-quality, locally made goods, artisans can build sustainable businesses. Collaborative design interventions can further enhance this by adapting traditional techniques to meet contemporary market demands. By integrating modern design with cultural craftsmanship, artisans and designers can collaborate to create products that balance authenticity with current trends.

We work with existing and new craft house projects, providing insight on craft selection, set-up and feasibility, curriculum and market placement based on industry best practices.

Humans + Things firmly believes in craft as a powerful medium for socio-economic change, recognizing its crucial role in improving the lives of individuals, particularly within rural communities and vulnerable populations.
