Bottlecap Coasters Set of 4

Founded in 1986 by the five Mukankha brothers, the Improved Arts Metal Sculptors Project is a remarkable story of creativity, resilience, and generational craftsmanship. Through their artistic talent, the brothers built a sustainable livelihood that allowed them to provide opportunities for their families that they themselves did not have growing up.

Using simple hand tools—snips, pliers, and hammers—they transform sheets of tin into playful sculptural creatures full of character and charm. Each piece is then individually hand-painted in vibrant patterns by artists from Zimbabwe’s Weya community, making every sculpture a truly one-of-a-kind work of art. While some of the founding brothers have since passed, the legacy continues through Norman and Moses, who now mentor the next generation of younger family members, ensuring this distinctive craft continues to thrive.
