A true expression of the Brazilian cultural heritage, handcrafting is the result of knowledge accumulated by generations in several organized communities  around the country.  These communities , depositaries of techniques developed and perfected by many generations, have a deep knowledge of their regions’ natural resources.  Able to transform this knowledge into objects inspired by their cultural values and worldview, these men and women  create and re-create one of the most accurate representation of a national identity.

Artest Handcrafts & Style Association was created to disseminate handcrafts produced in the State of Paraná and other Brazilian regions, contributing to their valorization, and creating market opportunities for associated  artisans.
