Haiti

Iron work. Referred to as Fer-de-Coupe, Haitian ironwork originated in Croix-de-Bouquets, a town about a half-hour drive from Port-au-Prince. Artists here make sculptures out of flattened steel oil drums. Some items are left unfinished and others are brightly painted.

Jacmel wood art. Artists in the southeastern coastal town of Jacmel create colorful wood products and papier-mâché masks.
