2 | HANDMADE COLLECTION FOR 2011
The panellists were unashamedly critical and particular:
Head of Department, Industrial Design, Cape Peninsula University
of Technology, BART VERVECKKEN, was looking for “conceptual
integrity, visual balance and attention to detail and craftsmanship”.
FARZANAH BADSHA, one of the curators of Spier Contemporary,
was “looking for objects that are beautifully made, use materials
in innovative ways and are aesthetically powerful. I would also look for
objects that speak to or about the place and time in which they were
made as well as to the lives of the people that make them”.
LIANNE BURTON, the marketing manager of Cape Town Tourism,
was attracted to: “A sense of freshness, integrity, local
distinctiveness... and immediate, ‘gotta-have-it’ desirability.”
MARGIE ROBERTSON, the owner of one of Cape Town’s most
high-end stores, Africa Nova, was after: “Originality. Innovation.
Highly skilled in the chosen craft or design area. Something that
defines the piece as ‘African’, and finally, the mark of the hand.”
Architect MOKENA MAKEKA of Makeka Design Laboratory,
wanted “something bold, inventive. Something that makes me
think and smile - without trying”.
Getting such a skilled, perceptive and opinionated group of
people to agree was a tough job – but agree we all did.
We are proud to present a Collection that showcases all of these
qualities – and more. And we congratulate the artists and
creators for the journey they have travelled.
We hope you are inspired by this Collection, which captures a
decade of collaboration and discovery.

School. After working in the design industry for a number of
years, she decided to spend her free time working with media
that spoke to her. Her art encompasses a wide range of media
and materials. In her day-to-day life, Nicola views scenes as
compositions and thinks of ways to translate them into art. She
started doing her embroidery as a time filler between paintings
and while away from her studio.

Spoon, necklace, earrings, ring, bowls.
Copperplate etchings used on silver jewellery.
Fabricnation was established in 2007, stemming from a decadesold bond between designers Jane Solomon and Jann Cheifitz,
who began printing together inspired by their shared love of
the African textile tradition. Jane took this business forward and
extended it to create interior design concepts, and now works
extensively as a product developer and skills trainer with urban
and rural crafters. Her work was also the driving force behind
the acclaimed ‘Body Maps’ series where HIV-positive women
used visual media to tell their truths.
Frieda’s simple designs are crafted to perfection, incorporating
natural materials and contrasting textures, colours and densities.
Her recent love for etching and engraving brings a new angle
to her work, in which she uses discarded copper etching plates
to print onto silver and create jewellery and a small range of
pinch pots. Parallel to her own ranges, Frieda custom-designs
and manufactures individual pieces.

Produced by Wire World, designer Natalie was inspired by an
abacus of various balls on a rod. This lamp is an assembly of
various size wooden balls made from alien timber from a certified
sustainable source. Balls can be re-stacked in various configurations
to create new designs and heights.
Despite years of experience as a hardware sales representative,
Willard struggled to find employment when he first moved to
Cape Town, and decided to craft small items out of wire. With
the help of the CCDI, he took his business to new heights. A flurry
of international orders helped Willard to start Feeling African,
specialising in furniture and tailor-made products – all done with
the purpose of job creation. Heidi Lise of Project Move Design,
who has 20 years of experience in retail design, was inspired to
adapt Willard’s chair as a recliner, which he manufactured.
As a child, Natalie would move the furniture around the house
into more favourable positions and paste fabrics to story boards
of her dream house, leading her to study interior design and
pursue work in the decor industry. She created the brand Fundi
Light & Living in 2007. Natalie’s experience is an amalgamation
of the disciplines of design, manufacturing and retail, allowing
her to produce products that are aesthetically pleasing; she
finds inspiration everywhere and emphasises the importance
of seeing things in new ways.

He particularly enjoys leather carving, which requires special
skills to produce a beautiful design. Making use of every little
piece of leather while minimising waste appeals to him. He designs
and makes his own products and also produces customised orders.

belief that we are all connected to each other. Working intuitively
with terracotta clay, Kay allows the pieces to organically
reveal themselves. Titles for the pieces are inspired by the
music of Nina Simone; her darkly passionate love songs serve
as constant inspiration and balance the esoteric nature of

A medium usually viewed as trash is transformed into a beautiful
and refreshing work of three-dimensional sculpture. The designermaker used cardboard and glue for this piece, but also incorporates
resin, fabric and paint with the medium in some cases.
Designer-maker Elana finds innovative ways to create artwork, at
relatively low material costs, that strongly reflects South Africa. With
a matric distinction in art, she continued her studies at Stellenbosch
University with a B Dram. Technical. She worked as a freelance stage

Free-form organic bowl. Designed by Jessica Khonza; produced
by wire artist Tichaona Kandoto.
This work explores clay’s capacity to be chameleon-like, echoing
the quality of other materials; here the emphasis is granite and
marble. The designer-maker has experimented with adding
oxides to the clay itself, and references collage and sewing in
the making of these vessels.
With a desire to fight unemployment, Alison established Kunye
in her home in 1995. Kunye trains and provides work for groups
and individuals who handcraft products, using recycled material
wherever possible. Alison’s training as a landscape designer and
her study of Environmental Resource Management have made
her acutely aware of the need to protect the environment. She
has won a number of awards in this regard and attended the
Clinton Global Initiative in New York as her products were
used extensively in the décor.
Lisa is a leading ceramic artist who has lived and worked in
Cape Town for 13 years. She studied ceramic design at Wits
Technikon from 1993-1995 and has been working with clay for
over 20 years. She has exhibited work at some 40 exhibitions locally
and internationally since 1996. Her work references fabric, patchwork and sewing; printmaking and paper-folding, light, texture and
layering. Lisa particularly enjoys working with porcelain for its
whimsical and magical translucency.

Lana, who lives in Lamberts Bay, buys washed and carded
wool then dyes, hand-paints, spins and knits it. Lana also supplies
members of a Johannesburg-based spinners’ and weavers’
guild with her wool. She was greatly inspired by a three-week
CCDI Winter School in 2009. Eager to create more novelty
yarns, she recently researched the subject in London and plans
to set up a website and online shop.
Born and trained as a goldsmith within a family of artists in
Germany, Maike moved to Johannesburg in 1993. At her studio,
now in Woodstock, she designs and manufactures custommade designs, and exhibits pieces in galleries across the
country. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings and her
travels, Maike is influenced by ancient and ethnic jewellery
to experiment with old techniques while creating something
new and unexpected. She aims to make jewellery that underlines
personality and enhances individuality.

picture frame.
Based on traditional Ndebele designs, Mel has recreated the
feeling of beautiful Ndebele bead work. She has used handmade glass and gold, cutting the glass very small to achieve
the effect of the closely packed beads.
Bishop is the owner of Master Wire & Bead Craft. From his early days

the CCDI as an immense benefit in developing products and
improving designs.

Antique wooden printer’s trays are re-used as cupboard doors. The
cupboard structure has been custom-made from reclaimed timber
with internal shelves and a sheet of glass secured to the front of the
tray. The original metal drawer pull is used as the cupboard handle.
Graduating with a distinction from Design Time School of Interior
Design in Cape Town, Kate has seven years of experience in
the design, furniture and fabric industry in London and Cape
Town. The inspiration behind Recreate was Kate’s passion and
flair for transforming the ordinary to the extraordinary. Kate
never works within established stylistic boundaries. She creates
an eclectic combination of styles, materials and finishes; this
skill highlights her ability to find the intrinsic beauty and new,
hidden purpose in old, discarded items. She started Recreate,
a repurposed furniture and lighting range, in 2009.

The Art of Placement
Recycled material, papier-mâché, resin
R2 340
The inspiration for the vessels comes from Japanese flower design,
which encourages an appreciation of simplicity. It aims to
make life clearer using less material to show off the beauty of a
line or shape more clearly. The sculptural art form suits contemporary
interiors and the vases have been featured in Visi, Elle Decoration
and Japanese magazines.
Alison is a qualified and experienced adult facilitator who delights
in empowering others to excel in entrepreneurship and floral
design. She is qualified in human resources and entrepreneurship development and studied flower design at the Regent
Academy of Fine Arts in London. She has always been fascinated
by the relationship between flowers, the vessel, and the human.
Her ‘blooming empowerment programme’ led to the establishment of Soanesbury Flowers School in 1993.

Lyall Sprong works as an object maker and designer. He has exhibited
locally and abroad, most notably on a number of occasions in
Milan. Lyall is interested in the propensity of objects to encompass a
world view. After studying and becoming involved in craft making, Marc
Nicolson worked in partnership with Aid to Artisans. He has since
worked at Rocketfuel as head designer, completing numerous
designs and projects for major local and international brands. In
working together, Marc and Lyall aim to produce objects that grow
out of ideas for better possibilities. They see their individual human
experience as being an integral part of this process.

Since his childhood in Belgium, Vincent has been attracted to
leather and handmade work. He arrived in Cape Town in 2003
and has had several jobs, one of which was distributing rough
handcrafted leather sandals. Soon after, he was inspired to
craft his own shoes out of hide. Moving from hides to leather,
Vincent founded Urban Africa in 2005, focusing on minimalistic,
elegant and funky designs. The range is designed by Vincent
and Reanne Gray and each unique piece is individually handmade by Vincent and his team.
