Want To Host An Advent Market? + Find Handmade Palestine At Holiday Markets Across The U.S. – Starting Tomorrow In Atlanta, GA!

Meet the Artisans of Oasis: The Makers Behind Our Beautiful Christmas Sand Art Cards

We wanted to share a little story behind one of our favourite Christmas products this year. Meet the wonderful artisans at The Oasis Center in Palestine, who create these beautiful handmade Christmas cards using colored sand. The Oasis Center was established in Beit Sahour in 1998 in response to the urgent need for a safe place for adults with disabilities.

Each card is carefully made by hand, making every design unique. The artisans at Oasis have incredible talent, and it's lovely to be able to share their work and the people behind it with you. These cards are more than just Christmas greetings. They're a chance to share something made in Palestine and tell the story of the talented people who put so much care into creating them.

If you're hosting an Advent Market this year, they would make a lovely addition to your collection. They're something a little different to offer visitors and a wonderful opportunity to share the story behind the products.
