Handcrafted Haitian Steel Drum Art – A One-of-a-Kind Masterpiece
Crafted from recycled 55-gallon steel drums by skilled village artisans in Haiti, this stunning piece of art is a testament to creativity and sustainability. Each design is meticulously hand-cut, shaped, and embossed, transforming discarded metal into breathtaking works of art.
The process begins with repurposing steel drums that once transported oil into the capital. The drums are carefully cut open, the residual oil is burned off to purify the metal, and the sheets are then flattened. From there, artisans use chisels and hammers to carve intricate patterns and forms, breathing new life into the material and creating one-of-a-kind upcycled art.
