Founder
Hello, I am Kanchana Madwantha, founder of Ceylon Craft Company. I want to give the creator a good commercial value for the traditional works of Sri Lanka. Because for a long time, they had not received the real value of the creations they had spent their hard work on. As the industry collapsed, no one tried to build a future with handicrafts. Meanwhile, I launched this operation. My only aim is to take the people of Sri Lanka to the creative world. This is part of an effort to do so.
Our Story
A social enterprise. An authentic platform for pure craft.
Ceylon Craft was started about three years ago with the goal of preserving, showcasing, and disseminating to the world the skill of Sri Lankan artisans. We aim to be able to uplift the status of the Sri Lankan artisan in our own unique way and pique interest in and support for an unrivaled tradition of craftsmanship that stretches over millennia and extends across the entire country. We make an effort to choose a definitely special assortment of traditional art and craft that has been transformed into a variety of lovely, modern products.
Established in 2019, Social Media Base On Platform
Our goal has always been to enable our craftspeople to produce high-quality, sustainable goods. We fully commit to these causes. Each of our goods is individually created. Each item offers a particular tale about the artist who created it.
Supporting the artisan.
Making sure that our artists receive fair pricing that are mutually agreed upon, as well as assistance with ideas and guidance on how to best use their enormous talent in keeping up with the times. We and our craftspeople agree on our cost and pricing strategies fairly. Through assistance with manufacturing processes, working conditions, business practices, and product development, our partners and associates persistently seek to support craftsmen in improving their practices and expanding their skill levels. We work to give all of our partners, artisans, and craftsmen access to a wider market and a more equitable price for their wares. We do this not only by promoting what they produce but also by offering them ideas and designs to innovate and produce relevant craft items that appeal to shifting tastes. modern preferences, to help them find wider markets.
Craft conservation as a collective effort
Helping A major concern facing the sector nationwide is making sure that craft can continue to provide artisans and their future generations with a sustainable, viable source of income. Beautiful rural craft is not widely available in big marketplaces and shops. Instead, it is restricted to small-town sales and sporadic displays in larger cities. Many craftspeople are still having trouble making a living. The ability of these artists to reach new markets and produce cutting-edge, modern goods that start a cycle of recurring orders and purchases is perhaps the most significant goal we aim to accomplish for them. As a result, craft would become a viable employment alternative for the younger generations in these artist settlements.
