Steel Drum Art

Croix des Bouquet artisans are based in an area of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti known for artisans who make oil drum art. The constant hammering from the sheds in the area led us to beautiful metalwork, with each stop offering new designs.

There are thousands of independent Haitian metal artists striving to make a sustainable living by exporting their pieces from a country where political strife and lack of tourism has eliminated most sales outlets.

This piece is made from recycled oil drums. Each piece is cut by hand and worked with hand tools.
