Wood Carving Artisans of Kenya.

The Kamba tribe of Kenya is a community of skilled craftsmen. The Kamba artisans create fine pieces of hand-carved animals, wall decor, bowls, cooking utensils, and furniture. They work with a variety of materials like bamboo, wood, and metal. Wood carving is a part of Kamba spirituality. They believe God, who they call Ngai, imparts shape to all living things. Carving is seen by the Kamba people as one of Ngai's creative efforts. Traditionally, only men from the tribe carve wood. 

Wood carving is a primary source of livelihood in Kenya. Many artisans belong to several organizations like the Wamunyu Wood Carvers Cooperative in Machakos, promoting fair trade between artisans and consumers. This provides artisans with a sustainable source of income for their craftsmanship. Kenyans have since evolved in their craftsmanship employing the use of ethically sourced chemicals to help preserve the wood and protect it from external attacks.
