Carrol Boyes Functional Art

Inspired by and firmly rooted in South Africa, Carrol Boyes artisan products, imbued in their own eccentric soul, have seduced imaginations the world over.

Carrol started designing and making her pewter cutlery 18 years ago in her own basement, but the phenomenal demand for these fun and quirky items meant growth.

Carrol looked to the rural community in South Africa's tropical Limpono Valley, where the impoverished Shangaan people had an age-old talent for three-dimensional design though their tradition of wood-carving. Not only were they a natural choice to be the crafters at the factory, but also, this welcome employment opportunity meant they could live in dignity and feed their families.

Today the factory employs over 350 people -- each one of them providing for up to ten other family members.

Trademark materials include a fusion of lead-free pewter, aluminum, and stainless steel, and in combination with leather and wood.

We hope to inspire you to celebrate with us in this out of the ordinary experience.

These are artisan products and supplies are limited.
