About A Different Approach
A Different Approach is a fair trade wholesaler of Nicaraguan crafts. We began working with the artisans in Nicaraguan six years ago after spending a bit of time in Central America. Nicaragua has many exceptional artisans including potters, sculptors, painters and weavers. However, most of these artisans do not have adequate access to markets to provide a decent living for themselves and their families. The number of tourists who visit Nicaragua is low compared to its neighbors, and Nicaragua has not yet developed its international craft market to the level of other Latin American nations. We at A Different Approach decided to help in the expansion of their markets by becoming one outlet dedicated to bringing these beautiful Nicaraguan crafts to the American public. In our working relationships with the artisans of Nicaragua we are dedicated to the principles of Fair Trade. Fair trade is a way of doing business in which low-income artisans and farmers gain access to needed markets and are empowered to become economically independent. Potters for Peace: The pieces we offer come from women's collectives and small family businesses. One small NGO (non-governmental organization) that has been a driving force behind the revival of pottery making among these groups is Potters for Peace. PFP was founded by US potters out of a desire to show solidarity with the potters of Nicaragua. They sponsor cross-cultural exchanges between potters from others countries and the potters of Nicaragua. In addition, they work to improve the lives of marginalized groups by introducing pottery-making as a microenterprise. They hold workshops to introduce new techniques and skills, provide technical assistance, and help link artisans and buyers.
