Description

Turquoise Mountain supports artisans to thrive and revitalise their heritage. Turquoise Mountain was founded in 2006 by His Majesty King Charles III, and currently works in Afghanistan, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia and the Levant. It is rooted in the belief that artisanal heritage matters, has the power to transform lives, and to connect people locally and around the world.   Turquoise Mountain has trained thousands of artisans and builders, restored over 150 historic buildings, and organised major international exhibitions - from the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC. The organisation has sold $15.6 million worth of craft products, and supported local artisan businesses to sell another $16.8 million. Turquoise Mountain has worked with prestigious international retailers, from Asprey in London and Kate Spade in New York, to five-star hotels around the world including The Connaught, Four Seasons and Fairmont, developing products inspired by heritage traditions for contemporary markets while supporting sustainable incomes for artisans.
