In 1999 Ms. Sandra Browne founded the Pelican Craft Centre in Barbados, and helped revitalize the traditional arts, crafts, and music of the Caribbean. The Pelican Centre, the largest of its kind in the Caribbean, is a cluster of workshops near downtown Bridgetown, where craftspeople create and sell "100% Barbadian-made" leather goods, batik, basketry, carvings, jewelry, glass art, paintings, pottery, and other items. The retail section comprises 25 retail shops, a gallery and annex, a wine bar & bistro, a restaurant, and an artist wall. In The Pelican Workshops visitors can see firsthand the creativity of Barbadian craftsmen while they create pottery, woodcarving, basketry, strawwork, fine art, glass blowing, weaving, moulded figure-making, sewing and cigar making.
