Young entrepreneurs make art and craft from unlikely sources

Among the abundance of talent at this year’s GuyExpo are three young women, Crystal Baptiste, 18, Samantha Ramah, 19, and Aneisa Douglas, 25, who are making art and craft from the most unlikely materials.

When Stabroek News visited their booth on GuyExpo’s opening night, there was an almost mystical feel to the space, perhaps the effect of the display of jewellery hanging from tree branches or the eerie landscapes painted onto what appeared to be old liquor bottles. It could also have been owing to the fact that the first piece of craft presented was ‘Crystal’s Magic Bottles.’
