The twelve artisan groups featured each season have been introduced by fair trade wholesalers, nonprofit organizations and consultants who work directly with the craftspeople. 12 SMALL THINGS strive to represent artisans from different parts of the world. Occasionally 12 SMALL THINGS also features products from American artisans who donate a portion of their proceeds to help to support nonprofit organizations in their communities. The products are chosen for their quality and value with an eye for both contemporary and classic style.
