Pippa Small began working on her 'projects' about eight years ago, sure that there would be a way to bring benefit from working with traditional communities. She feels that jewellery has the potential to change lives by working with communities, creating jobs and opportunities, and using design to raise money and awareness. It has given the communities a re-found respect for traditional materials and a sense of self confidence and pride in their creations.
