Artisans’ cooperatives

Artisans’ cooperatives are groups where craftspersons collaborate to produce, market, and sell their handmade goods. Members share resources, expertise, and costs, which helps them compete more effectively and reach broader markets. By working together, artisans can access better tools, training, and distribution channels while maintaining control over their work. These cooperatives foster a sense of community, support sustainable practices, and often prioritize local or ethical production. In essence, they empower individual artisans through collective effort, helping preserve traditional crafts and ensuring fairer economic benefits for their members.
