Exhibition of work by South African professional and student jewellers at Artisan.

Local is Lekker underpins an exhibition of work by South African professional and student jewellers running at Durban’s Artisan Contemporary Gallery in Morningside.

“This is our annual jewellery exhibition where we showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of this country’s established and emerging jewellers working in precious metals and found objects”, said Artisan curator, Sue Greenberg. “These found objects will typically embrace jewellery incorporating a host of other man-made and natural materials.

Coinciding with the FIFA World Cup, the exhibitors are expected to draw inspiration from this landmark event as well as other things South African not only in the main jewellery exhibition but also in the paintings, drawings and other multi-media work on display. These exhibitors include Carol Beckx, Margaret Burnard, Diane Sampson, Nicky Chouvchouv to mention a few.

Local is Lekker runs through to June 30. Artisan Contemporary Gallery is situated at 344 Florida Road. More information on 031 312 4364.
