Nkhata Bay Woodcarvers
East/Central Africa is blessed with beautiful natural hard woods like
teak, ebony and mahogany. Woodcarving is the primary art form in Malawi
passed down from generation to generation through male artisans. There
is a small group of woodcarvers near Nkhata Bay that Dsenyo commissions
to craft custom, hand-carved belt buckles and buttons. The group is
lead by Andrew Phiri who has been carving for over 25 years and studied
with his uncle since he was a young boy to learn the family tradition.
