Feature Artisans
For centuries,
Vietnamese artisans have been known for their exquisite ceramics. Using
traditional techniques at a small family workshop in Vietnam, Nguyen Thi Yen
creates beautiful, ceramic planters available at
Ten Thousand Villages.
Three years ago, Nguyen Thi Yen helped to support her family with odd jobs she found in her village. Today she and her husband have consistent work and receive a fair income through their work with Ten Thousand Villages artisan partner Viet Lam Company.
She shares the dreams of many artisans in Vietnam and around the world. Consistent work and steady income means she and others can continue their traditional arts and provide education and a better life for their families.
