Koloni Colombia - Jennifer Pryke
Although I am half Colombian (my mother is Colombian), I didn't go there myself until 2008. I soon fell in love with the culture and variety of traditions. When I bought my first mola piece and filigree earrings, I immediately thought it is a shame that these aren’t available in the UK; so different and beautiful with artisans that are so meticulous but work in such troubled environments.
I studied BA Art History and MA Arts Management and it is as unique works of art that I share Koloni craft with you. Designs made with great love and respect for the traditions that they were inspired by and for the hands of skilled artisans that need to be appreciated and rewarded.
