ARTISAN CORNER
Where Leadership Meets Craft
The Artisan Corner celebrates the creativity, resilience, and leadership of women artisans across Latin America. Each handmade piece tells a story of courage, tradition, and transformation, reflecting cultural heritage, sustainability, and empowered livelihoods.
OUR STORY
The roots of The Artisan Corner began over twenty years ago, when I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in an Indigenous artisan community in the northern Andes of Ecuador. There, I worked alongside women and girls on leadership initiatives and learned firsthand how creativity, courage, and collective effort spark change. Together with the Warmis — “women” in Quichua, we joined the first Indigenous women’s expedition to the summit of Volcano Cotopaxi, a climb that became a lasting metaphor for the strength and perseverance of women everywhere.
That experience planted the seed for The Artisan Corner: a platform amplifying women’s artistry, voices, and leadership across Latin America. From handwoven textiles to vibrant jewelry, our collections showcase the beauty of tradition while creating pathways to economic opportunity.
The women we partner with are not only artisans, they are community leaders, breadwinners, teachers, and change-makers. Their work embodies the values of resilience, collaboration, and empowerment that define The Warmi Way: uplifting women, strengthening communities, and advancing equality.
