our story

Whilst living in Jerusalem from 2008 to 2011, I was drawn to Palestine but saddened by the lack of opportunities available to many local communities, particularly those in Hebron and Bethlehem. Christmas decorations made in Bethlehem seemed an obvious and simple way of creating regular employment and tapped into their own ancient glassblowing tradition in Hebron.
