Framed Pressed FernsPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU# 7925170

Artisans in the town of Salay, the Philippines, create this framed botanical art piece with handmade paper and pressed local ferns. The primary raw material for the paper is Cogon grass, a local weed now useful for extra income to farmers. Since the ferns are real, these framed pictures are assorted patterns, each one unique.

Salay Handmade Paper was started in the late 1970s by Loreta Rafisura, a nurse-turned-entrepreneur. She began the program to create employment for people in her community of Salay, located on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The business has grown to employ 300 people in an area with little industry and a history of political unrest.
