A ROSE & FITZGERALD ARTISAN PARTNER 


The moment we first saw this group’s master lather begin his work, we knew we’d found someone special.  He’s a quiet, steady-handed worker. He smiles and lets his group’s work speak for itself.  And it does. We watched in awe as he chipped away angled pieces of wood from a solid block of thick Mugavu – all done “Michelangelo-style” right in front of our eyes.


The main workshop is tucked away off a busy Kampala street. The shop is filled with stacks of the highest quality woods, all sourced from Central Uganda. It’s also packed with wood workers just as dedicated to their craft as their leader.


This group primarily works on custom projects because they love taking on a challenge. They truly took pride in their work and the honing of their craft.  We watched them work diligently on our projects (and others) and couldn’t believe the attention to detail they employed as they carefully made beautiful products out of single pieces of raw wood. It shows through on every beautifully simple design we worked with them to bring to life.
