When Norman Mukhanka and four of his brothers began working with metal it was out of absolute necessity, “…first it was we were learning to use the tools, and then came a time when our parents died, we were left as orphans at a very young age. And we had to take it (metalcraft) seriously now, because we had to take care of ourselves.” This necessity resulted in the brother’s business, ‘Improved Arts’, and the creation of the tin animals now sold by Mbare Ltd.
