Far + Wide Collective is connecting worlds by pairing skills and market knowledge of international designers with craft producers in Afghanistan. Inspired by ancient jewelry from the Kabul bazaars, Far + Wide and artist, Kara Hamilton collaborated with four aspiring jewelry businesses from Turquoise Mountain in Afghanistan on an exclusive 12-piece collection.
"My interest in this project was to see how the artisans interpret designs, not to try to give them designs they are familiar with. I was inspired by materials first and some aspects of process, but their hands changed everything."
- Kara Hamilton, Designer
