Caribbean speak: Saint Lucian artist Joshua George of Helen's Craft...



I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting M. Joshua George and his lovely wife of Helen's Craft a few weeks ago where they showcased a collection of their beautiful crafted pieces all made out of local Saint Lucian wood like coconut and cedar. These included jewelry such as earrings and pendants, jewelry boxes, a clutch which I absolutely loved and is on my wish list, letter openers, a selection of key rings, coasters  and other gift items just to name a few items. Mr. George, a retired teacher has always had a passion for crafting and is open to creating one off items at customers' request.  Each piece is beautifully handcrafted using organic resources.
To place your orders or see a selection of what's available you can visit Helen's Craft on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Helens-Craft/1387975881451268?fref=ts
I also discovered this video from Calabash TV Saint Lucia. You can watch it here by clicking this link:
My photos cannot begin to do justice to the wonderful creations done by Joshua but I have included a few below. Support our local Saint Lucian artists. Buy local. These pieces make great souvenir and gift items just in time for the holidays and birthdays.
