APTEC PERU is an organization of producer artisans that offers a variety of handmade products made from many materials including clay and gourds.
Learning the art of craftmaking from their parents, the artisans worked for many years for companies but now design and create the products themselves.
Achieving the status of a Fair Trade Organization through IFAT, the International Fair Trade Association, APTEC PERU ensures that artisans are paid a fair price for their products, develops the communities in which the artisans live, and provides an environment where artisans can earn a sustainable income.
