Kazuri Beads is a world-renowned ceramic bead workshop that originated in Kenya. The word “Kazuri” means “small and beautiful” in Swahili, perfectly capturing the essence of their delicate creations.
The workshop was founded with a mission to empower single mothers and disadvantaged women by providing them with sustainable employment. Using clay sourced from Mount Kenya, each bead is meticulously hand-rolled, kiln-fired, and hand-painted with unique designs and vibrant colors.
