About Artisan Travel Sphere
Founded in 2018 by cultural anthropologist Dr. Maria Rodriguez, Artisan Travel Sphere specializes in creating transformative cultural immersion experiences that bridge the gap between modern travelers and traditional craftspeople.
Our mission is to preserve endangered artisan traditions while providing meaningful travel experiences that benefit local communities. We work directly with master craftspeople in over 25 countries, from Japanese ceramic artists in Kyoto to textile weavers in Peru's Sacred Valley.
Each journey is carefully curated to provide authentic learning opportunities, where travelers don't just observe but actively participate in traditional craft-making processes under the guidance of generational masters. We believe in sustainable tourism that creates lasting cultural exchange and supports artisan communities economically.
Our expert guides are trained cultural historians and craft specialists who provide deep context about the historical significance, techniques, and cultural meaning behind each artisan tradition. Join us in preserving and celebrating the world's most beautiful handcraft heritage.
