Tin Animals...

African Tin Animals from Zimbabwe.  These animals are an original creation of the Improved Arts workshop.  Started by 5 brothers in the early 1990's, only two of the original five, Norman and Moses Mukhanka, are still alive.  Mbare has creatively combined their talent with the talent of a team of Weya trained painters to produce these delightful ORIGINAL painted tin animals.  Initially crafted from recycled tin, the animals are now made from scrap and purchased material.  We add one to two new animals to our range per year.  Start your collection today!

"...talent is nothing if we just sit here and die with our talent. It doesn't work. So you have to - we have to - show the world what we are really made of." Norman Mukhanka (Handmade Metal Arts/Improved Arts Zimbabwe)
