"That's why we do it, *love*, we love the people, their self expression through the beauty of what they make and Zulus are the most generous and loving people. Their warmth is tangible."
-Janet Shaw, director of Zulu Beadwork Project

Vision
The Zulu Beadwork Project's vision is for a fair, participatory, and sustainable livelihood for all involved.

Our Mission

The Zulu Beadwork Project was inspired by the centuries old beading traditions of the Zulu and Xhosa nations in Southern Africa. It is made up of 40 women who have through their clan lineages mastered the art of creating fine beadwork. Together we work to create contemporary designs.

We showcase this skill on a global level, create sustainable employment, empowerment and an integral sense of pride in ones traditions.

Each piece of jewelry is made entirely by hand using only the finest quality glass beads from Europe. We hope you enjoy the beauty of these handcrafted jewels.
