Bèl bagay
("Beautiful things")
Haiti is full of artists and artisans: this country is famous for music, dance, painting, and an amazing variety of crafts. Here are a few photos of products made in the workshop of Haitian Personalized Mahogany Inc (HPMI), a small business set up by two colleagues of mine, Nelson and Elysée.
Nelson keeping his hand in. Nelson started as an apprentice in his father's workshop, and established HPMI to continue the family tradition.

HPMI are available to make personalised nameplates, pens, key rings, or just about anything else you can imagine being crafted from wood. If you're interested in ordering anything, or would like to know more, then you can get in touch with them on cyprien22@yahoo.com.
