As we come up on our last market weekend of 2023, we wanted to share our gratitude! 4 years ago, we started Handicraft Soul, and it’s been such an incredible journey of growth.

We can’t thank enough the phenomenally talented artisans that we partner with in South Africa and Ghana, and of course everyone who has supported us this year by purchasing their handmade work.

It is an honor and a joy to do what we do, and we’re so looking forward to what year 4 of this business will bring our way! Thank you all 🙏

So excited that the ladies of Ukuthunga handmade got to visit Kruger National Park! These talented ladies crochet the beautiful safari teddies we sell.

For many of the ladies this was the first time visiting the park and seeing the wildlife in person!

The day is finally here!!

With the amazing support of Tourvest Destination Management, the crochet queens of Ukuthunga are heading into the Kruger National Park!

This is a first for many of our ladies, and we are thrilled that we all get to share this experience.

Watch this space! Who knows what wonderful wildlife we will find today!

Basket shaping day! We’re gearing up for another busy weekend of markets. When we receive the baskets, they’re crushed and stacked inside of each other so more fit into a box for shipping. So it’s necessary to wet them and bring them back to their original form.

These classic market baskets that are woven in Ghana have been so popular at shows!

Find us this weekend at:
-The Sheboygan Farmer Market, Saturday 9/23 8am-1pm

-Green Lake Harvest Festival, Saturday & Sunday, 10am-4pm

- Garver Feed Mill Patio Pop Up on Sunday in Madison, 11am-4pm

See you soon!
