In sync with the Bamboo Way, Bamboo Villagers are taught, and encouraged to develop their own, eco-ethical crafts, utilizing Big Island bamboo scraps, volcanic glass (gravel), tropical hardwood scraps, and any other blessings from the Aina (Land) that Péle may have to offer. These sacred art forms have stories to tell and gifts to share.

Proceeds from sales of these fine crafts support the Bamboo Villagers as we manifest ways toward self-sufficiency. A portion of all sales are donated to the non-profit to help Bamboo Village Hawaii grow and continue to prosper. We encourage you to support us by purchasing our fine hand-made crafts, and donating what you can. It is your contributions that make all the difference. For ordering or other information regarding Earthstone Pyroglyphs™ send mail to villagearts@bamboovillagehawaii.org.
