Four Trees Chimes
Four Trees Chimes

Take a well-deserved break during your hectic holiday rush and relax with the soft, soothing tone of this durable chime. Suspended from a center chain, four wintry pines fashioned from recycled iron feature festive star cutouts. Each tree is adorned with petite brass bells and green glass beads that evoke a sense of tranquility and peace. The charming design is finished with a larger bell that extends from the trunk of the bottom tree. Beautifully handcrafted exclusively for Ten Thousand Villages by artisans with the Asha Handicrafts Association. Sanskrit for "hope," Asha provides opportunities for artisans in and around Mumbai.

THE MAKERS

A fair trade organization, Asha represents more than 6,500 artisans in 10 states of India. The association’s name, meaning "hope" in Sanskrit, represents its goal to sustain the marketing ability of individual and family–based artisans. A not–for–profit organization, Asha works to ensure that benefits of handicraft production reach the craftspeople themselves. Asha promotes sustainability and helps eliminate producer debt through direct purchases and advance payments. Producer benefits include educational assistance for children, medical checkups and treatment, a health center at Saharanpur, savings programs for artisans and spouses, nonformal education projects and relief–related social projects. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Asha since 1976.
