Jackson's Lemon Squeezer

Jackson's Lemon Squeezer

£27.00Price

As seen in the 'FT - How To Spend It' guide.

 

Beautifully tactile and solid, this African Blackwood Lemon Squeezer is a handy kitchen essential that is wonderful to hold and use for years to come.

 

Hand carved with precision and care, it's great for getting every last drop out of that lemon, lime or orange and is also a popular gift for the creative cook.

 

Made by Jackson and Filbert (our artisans in Tanzania), each piece takes a day to make and has its own unique wood grain, showcasing the raw natural beauty of African Blackwood. Jackson and Filbert use a traditional free hand technique that allows them to have more control of the shape so they can achieve a distinctly sculpted finish.

 

We work directly with our group of Makonde Wood Carvers who are renowned for their craftsmanship, a skill passed down for generations from father to son. 

 

Your purchase supports job creation and helps to keep the tradition of wood carving in the Makonde tribe alive.

 

Watch Jackson and Filbert's stories here. They share a bit about themselves, how they learnt to carve and what it means for them to have work.

 

Made in Tanzania by our QÄSA QÄSA Wood Carvers
