Meet the Maestros of the SA Craft Scene

1. The Beadwork Virtuoso: Thuli Zuma

In the rolling hills of KwaZulu-Natal, Thuli Zuma works magic with beads. Her intricate work is a dance of color and symmetry, deeply rooted in Zulu tradition. Yet, Thuli's pieces are unmistakably modern, often inspired by global trends she skillfully adapts to her beading language.

2. The Pottery Pioneer: James Magubane

James' hands shape clay into stories. From his humble studio in the Eastern Cape, each vase, platter, and pot is a testament to the earthy heritage of Xhosa craftsmanship mingled with a contemporary twist. James isn't just firing pottery; he's igniting a new era of ceramic artistry.

3. The Weaving Wizard: Lulama Sihlabeni

Lulama's hands weave not just threads but tales of a time when each blanket told a family's history. Her modern blankets and throws, created in her Western Cape atelier, embody the merging of heritage and contemporary comfort.
