Welcome to GiCrafts Shell Museum and Gallery, a place where nature’s elegance meets the artistry of traditional craftsmanship. Founded with a passion for sustainable design and a deep respect for the environment, GiCrafts is dedicated to creating exquisite, handcrafted home decor items using the natural beauty of capiz shells.
GiCrafts Shell Museum and Gallery was born out of a vision to connect people with the beauty of the ocean while supporting local artisans and communities. Our founder recognized the delicate radiance of capiz shells as an inspiring medium for home decor and saw an opportunity to make a positive impact through sustainable craft-making. Every piece in our collection is lovingly made by skilled artisans who honor the age-old craft of shellwork while bringing fresh, modern designs to life.
Our mission is threefold:
To empower disadvantaged communities by offering fair-trade opportunities in sustainable craft-making.
To promote environmental education by showcasing the beauty and value of natural materials.
To create decor that brings the glow of nature into your home while ensuring resources are preserved for future generations.
Capiz shells are renowned for their unique translucence and elegance. Harvested sustainably, these shells offer an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials, making them ideal for timeless decor that is as gentle on the environment as it is beautiful. Each piece in our gallery reflects the exquisite quality and luminous charm of capiz shells, bringing a coastal, serene ambiance to any space.
At GiCrafts, sustainability is more than just a principle; it’s our guiding philosophy. By sourcing our capiz shells ethically and creating our pieces with minimal environmental impact, we ensure that each item contributes to a sustainable cycle of beauty, craftsmanship, and community support. Our artisans are paid fairly, and we aim to create awareness of the importance of environmental preservation through every piece we create.
Whether you're here to find a statement piece, learn more about the craft, or explore the beauty of capiz shells, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, let’s celebrate the art of handcrafted shell decor and the natural wonder it brings into our lives.
