2016 - 2017


A very brief history of Haitian metal art. 2

Recycled metal oil drum art was born in the town of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, a town not far from the capital Port-au-Prince. Around midcentury, Georges Liautard, an ingenious blacksmith, used the metal from oil drums to fashion crosses for the local cemetery. In the 1950’s, DeWitt Peters, an American artist who was working with Haitian artists, saw these crosses and encouraged Georges to create decorate art. From this collaboration, an art form was born.


About. Three Stone Steps partners with artisans in Haiti (and elsewhere) to curate a thoughtful collection of art.

An overview of the process. 4

Fifty-five-gallon oil drums are first cleaned, by burning out residue. Then using a lot of strength, they’re flattened. Using the flattened drum as a canvas, an artist then traces an existing stencil — generally cut out of a used cardboard box — with chalk. Using a hammer and two or three sizes of chisels, the design is then cut. After that, the piece is polished with a wire brush and given a coat of clear lacquer and left to dry in the sun.

We work with dozens of artisans. The photos here are just a few of the people who work with them. For more information about our artisan/worker/environmental policies and practices, please contact us.

Display. This art can be used inside or out. There are often hooks on the back of a piece. Those without hooks are meant to be displayed by hanging on a mid-point of the work itself.

Care. This metal art is generally maintenance-free, however, some care is advised in the event that the customer doesn’t want the piece to rust. These pieces are coated with a clear lacquer. As with outdoor metal furniture, this coating wears over time. Should your customer not want the piece to rust, s/he could treat with a clear coat. Two of the popular brands are Krylon and Rust-o-leum and found in the spray paint section of most hardware stores. Even indoors, pieces may, on rare occasions, show rust or tarnish. David
