Why I Decided to Start my Company
   

For a combination of reasons- I have always wanted to work for myself, and whenever business ideas/opportunities present themselves I have always been keen to follow up and research the feasibility and potential of various business ideas.

With a love of animation (particularly ‘The Simpsons’) and a background interest in Africa & African issues, my initial thought to establish a business combining carton culture and African sculpture seemed like an idea worth pursuing.

After visiting Tabaka, Kenya, and seeing for myself the potential positive economic impact my business could have on the area (-if successful) I became doubly determined to succeed.

About the Author


Craft Village
(Visit Craft Village's Website)
Craft Village is a small business based in England. With the artisans of Kisii Tabaka, Western Kenya, we have been developing our unique sculptures and nurturing this project since 2004. Recognizing the skill and talent of the Kisii carvers, Craft Village identified the need for a new outlook in terms of design. A progression from the traditional soapstone statues saturating the market. Training rural Kenyan craftsmen to sculpt caricatures of cartoon characters, and introducing new production techniques and quality control methods, Craft Village have secured approval from 20th Century Fox and achieved an exclusive license to produce and sell our Simpsons sculptures. We are proud to be in a position to supply Simpsons fans with new, high quality, unique, animation art, whilst simultaneously having a positive economic impact in rural Kenya.
