Ilze Ports

I am an entrepreneur and a self-made artist from Latvia, living and working in San Diego, California.

My goal is to preserve the art and craft forms practiced for centuries in different faraway places in the World. I believe in the beauty and uniqueness of the different cultures and for more than 15 years I am working with communities and individuals in less fortunate circumstances.
​
With every purchase, we together are making a difference to transform our Plannet into a more radiant and creative place.

I am privileged to work closely with some of the finest traditional artisans and present some of our creations on this website.

You can meet me in person at Gas Lamp Artisan Market in San Diego on Sundays.
